Category: Space Launches

Space launches refer to the processes involved in sending spacecraft, satellites, or other payloads into space. This typically involves using a launch vehicle or rocket that carries the payload from Earth’s surface through the atmosphere and into orbit or beyond. The launch process includes several key phases: countdown, ignition, liftoff, ascent through the atmosphere, and insertion into the designated orbit or trajectory. Space launches can be conducted for various purposes, including scientific research, satellite deployment, national security, and human spaceflight. The launches are often conducted by government space agencies, such as NASA or ESA, as well as private aerospace companies. The timing, success, and technology involved in space launches are critical for mission objectives, and they are often broadcast to the public due to their significance and interest.
