Space Exploration

Space exploration refers to the investigation and study of outer space through the use of space technology and spacecraft. This encompasses missions to observe celestial bodies, gather data about the universe, and enhance our understanding of cosmic phenomena. Space exploration can involve both crewed and uncrewed missions, enabling scientists to explore planets, moons, asteroids, and other celestial objects. The goals of space exploration often include scientific research, technological development, and the potential for discovering extraterrestrial life or resources. The field has dramatically evolved since the mid-20th century, marked by milestones such as the launch of satellites, human spaceflight, lunar landings, and robotic probes sent to distant planets. Through space exploration, humanity seeks to answer fundamental questions about the origins of the universe, the nature of space and time, and the prospects for future human habitation beyond Earth.
