There is no need to recreate planetary conditions to build probes. We don’t have any serious issues building probes already, and we have landed probes on other planets and moons. Some worlds like Venus and Titan have been visited by probes which promptly died once entering the atmosphere, but that was by design; it’s not as though we weren’t expecting it.
