crewed space missions

Crewed space missions involve sending astronauts into space to conduct research, exploration, or maintenance of spacecraft and celestial bodies. These missions use specially designed spacecraft that provide life support, navigation, and safety systems. Crews typically travel to the International Space Station or other destinations like the Moon or Mars, where they perform scientific experiments, test new technologies, and gather valuable data. Such missions require careful planning, training, and coordination to ensure crew safety and mission success. They expand our understanding of space, enable technological advancements, and prepare humanity for future exploration efforts.
