crewed missions
Crewed missions are space travel endeavors that involve astronauts traveling to and working in space, typically aboard spacecraft. These missions are conducted to explore, conduct scientific research, or maintain space stations like the International Space Station (ISS). They require careful planning, life support systems, and safety measures to ensure crew safety during launch, space operations, and return to Earth. Crewed missions are essential for human exploration of space, including future endeavors like Moon or Mars exploration, enabling direct scientific observation and technological testing beyond Earth’s surface.
