or service satellites, refuel spacecrafts, to serve as a base for
astronomical observations
Space Probe

touches down on a landingstrip after an orbital mission sometimes
carrying a satellite or other equipment into orbit

satellites currently in operation. They are used for such diverse
purposes as weather forecasting, television broadcast, amateur
radio communications, Internet communications, and the Global
Positioning System, (GPS).
Space Station
It is a vehicle designed to be occupied by a crew for extended periods
