Answer:

A spacecraft is a vehicle or device designed for travel or operation outside the Earth's atmosphere, whereas a satellite is an object that orbits the Earth, the moon, or another celestial body. ... The Voyager and Pioneer spacecraft are not satellites because they are not in an orbit around any object.
