Experimental Spaceflight

Experimental spaceflight involves designing and conducting missions to test new technology, techniques, or scientific concepts in the space environment. It allows researchers and engineers to gather data on how systems perform in microgravity, vacuum, and radiation conditions, which differ from Earth. These missions help validate innovations like new spacecraft components, propulsion methods, or scientific instruments before they are used more broadly. By carefully planning and executing experiments in space, scientists can improve existing technologies, develop new applications, and expand our understanding of space phenomena, ultimately supporting future exploration, satellite development, and scientific discovery.
