What is the difference between a space probe and a mission?

I'm doing a science project on Venus, and we have to include information about space probes and missions to it. I think that a space probe is the same as a space craft (right?), and a mission is one where people are in it. Is this right?|||A space mission are astronauts space traveling out of Earth towards the outer space astral atmosphere to further investigate it, for example astronauts traveling to the moon and to Mars.





A space probe is a mechanical robot machine designed to record and photograph surfaces of the atmosphere it landed on, for example Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Mercury and Venus are too scolding greenhouse gas hot for any human, even in the most heat proof, oxygen filled space suits to land because they are the most closest to the sun and there is no ozone layers to protect Mercury and Venus from the sun's solar heat.



It would take about 5 years to travel to Jupiter.

It is a Jovian gaseous planet filled with sulfuric acid rain storms, clouds and a 300 year old whirling endless hurricane, the heat and the sulfuric acid would eat away at spaceships.





It would take about 6 years to travel to Saturn.

It is also another Jovian gaseous planet filled with ice covered asteroid rings.



It would about 7 years to travel to Uranus.

It is also another Jovian gaseous planet however filled with ammonia clouds, ammonia oceans and ammonia rain.



It would take about 8 years to travel to Neptune.

It is also another Jovian gaseous planet filled with ammonia clouds, ammonia oceans and ammonia rain.

The weather conditions are extreme, the cyclones, hurricanes and wind speed is too fast, too high, too strong, too unpredictable and too extreme for any spaceship to go through.



It would take about 10 years to travel to Pluto.

Pluto is either classified as a dwarf planet or double planet ( because of it's largest moon Charon being of equal size and aligned against Pluto and right in front of Pluto ) or it is no longer considered a planet.



Space probe robots allows space astronomers to learn further more details, study more and know more about outer space without traveling through a time consuming life risking space travel.|||From wikipedia:


A space probe is a scientific space exploration mission in which a robotic spacecraft leaves the gravity well of Earth and approaches the Moon or enters interplanetary or interstellar space.





So yeah...they really are the same.





A space mission is just a project of either sending man or man's equipment to explore beyond Earth.








I suppose a mission could consist of NUMEROUS probes, depending on the exact purpose.








For instance, you may need to have a spacecraft remain orbiting the planet, and have a second spacecraft descend to the planet. This would be an example of two probes for the same mission.|||A space probe is an unmanned vehicle for space exploration. A mission is the specific goal for which the space probe is sent.
