Space Exploration

Space exploration refers to the investigative and discovery efforts aimed at examining outer space through human-made spacecraft, satellites, and rovers, as well as through manned missions. It involves the study of celestial bodies, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as the broader universe. The goals of space exploration include understanding the origins and evolution of the solar system and the universe, searching for extraterrestrial life, studying the effects of space travel on human physiology, and advancing technology in fields such as propulsion, materials science, and robotics. Space exploration can take place through various methods, including remote sensing, robotic missions, and crewed spaceflights, enabling scientists to gather data and conduct experiments beyond Earth's atmosphere. Prominent organizations involved in space exploration include NASA (United States), ESA (European Space Agency), Roscosmos (Russia), CNSA (China), and private companies like SpaceX.
