Resupply missions
Resupply missions are spacecraft or deliveries sent to spacecraft, space stations, or satellites to provide essential supplies like food, water, fuel, equipment, and scientific materials. These missions help sustain onboard operations and support crew needs or maintain satellite functions. Typically launched from Earth, resupply missions are crucial for long-term space presence, such as at the International Space Station, ensuring continuous mission success and safety. They can vary in size and complexity, ranging from robotic cargo ships to crewed deliveries, and are an essential part of space exploration and operations.
