Human Spaceflight

Human spaceflight refers to the process of sending astronauts into outer space to conduct missions beyond Earth’s atmosphere. This includes activities such as exploration, research, and scientific experimentation aboard spacecraft. Human spaceflight encompasses a range of missions, from low Earth orbit flights to deeper space exploration, such as trips to the Moon or Mars. The term highlights the involvement of human beings in space exploration, as opposed to robotic missions, and emphasizes the technological, physical, and logistical challenges associated with supporting human life in the harsh environment of space. It involves aspects of astronaut training, spacecraft design, life support systems, and the physiological effects of space travel on the human body.
