Space exploration refers to the investigation and study of outer space through the use of space technology and human or robotic missions. It encompasses a range of activities, including sending spacecraft, satellites, and probes beyond Earth’s atmosphere to gather information about celestial bodies, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as the broader cosmos. The primary goals of space exploration include advancing scientific knowledge, understanding the origins and evolution of the universe, searching for extraterrestrial life, and developing technologies that can be applied to various fields on Earth. It is often undertaken by national space agencies, such as NASA, ESA, and others, as well as private companies. Space exploration can involve manned missions, such as those to the International Space Station, as well as unmanned missions that send instruments to collect data and conduct experiments in space.
