DeepSpaceProbeData

For general access to the Wolfram Knowledgebase, use entities of type DeepSpaceProbe instead of DeepSpaceProbeData.

✖
DeepSpaceProbeData[entity,property]

gives the value of the specified property for the deep space probe entity.

✖
DeepSpaceProbeData[{entity1,entity2,…},property]

gives a list of property values for the specified deep space probe entities.

✖
DeepSpaceProbeData[entity,property,annotation]

gives the specified annotation associated with the given property.
