A spacecraft that carries scientific instruments, but no human crew

Real World Example

Imagine trying to get groceries from a store that's too far to walk to, and you can't go yourself. Just like how you'd send a friend with a list of items you need, a space probe is sent out with a set of scientific instruments to gather data from space without needing a human crew. In this analogy, the grocery list represents the scientific objectives, the friend is the space probe, and the groceries are the data collected, highlighting how both scenarios involve sending something or someone else to gather what you need when you can't go yourself.
