Space Exploration

Space exploration is the investigation and study of outer space through the use of space technology and spacecraft. It involves the pursuit of knowledge about celestial bodies, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as phenomena beyond Earth's atmosphere. Space exploration can be conducted through robotic missions, which send unmanned vehicles to gather data and send it back to Earth, or human missions, where astronauts travel into space to conduct experiments and explore. The primary goals include expanding scientific understanding, searching for extraterrestrial life, and evaluating the potential for human colonization beyond Earth. This field encompasses various disciplines, including astronomy, physics, engineering, and environmental science, and is undertaken by governmental agencies like NASA and ESA, as well as private companies and international collaborations.
