5. Atmospheric Probes: These space probes remain in, or transit through the atmosphere of the planet or moon and study weather patterns and atmospheric peculiarities until its end. The Huygens probe to Titan acted as an atmospheric probe and then a lander once it was on the surface of Saturn's moon.
The different types of orbits are: 1)Low Earth Orbits:This orbit is high enough to miss all the mountains and also high enough that the atmospheric drag won't bring it right back to the surface. ISS follows a Low Earth Orbit. 2)Highly Elliptical Orbits: Perigee is the closest point and apogee is the farthest point from earth..
