Spacecraft Exploration

Spacecraft exploration involves designing, building, and operating vehicles—such as satellites, rovers, and probes—that travel beyond Earth’s atmosphere to study other planets, moons, asteroids, and cosmic phenomena. These spacecraft collect data on space environments, surface compositions, and celestial bodies, helping scientists understand the universe and our place in it. Advanced technologies enable navigation, communication, and onboard scientific instruments to function in harsh conditions. Spacecraft exploration advances scientific knowledge, supports satellite-based services, and paves the way for future human missions, expanding our ability to explore and potentially inhabit outer space.
