Space Missions

Space missions refer to organized efforts to explore, study, or utilize outer space through the deployment of spacecraft, satellites, rovers, or human crews. These missions are designed to gather scientific data, conduct experiments, or perform technological demonstrations in various domains, such as planetary science, astrophysics, and Earth observation. Space missions can be categorized into several types, including crewed missions, which involve astronauts, and uncrewed missions, which utilize robotic spacecraft. They may also focus on specific objectives, such as orbiting a celestial body, landing on a surface, or traveling to distant planets and moons. Each mission is typically characterized by defined goals, timelines, and budgets, and they are usually conducted by national space agencies (like NASA or ESA) or commercial entities. Space missions have greatly expanded our understanding of the universe and contributed to advancements in technology and international collaboration in science.
