space probe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'exploratory craft' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'room to examine' is the wordplay.
'room' becomes 'space' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to examine' becomes 'probe' ('probe' can be a synonym of 'examine').
'space'+'probe'='SPACE PROBE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for space probe that I've seen before include "NASA craft" , "highflying investigative unit" .)
