Space exploration refers to the investigation and study of outer space through human-made spacecraft and technology. It encompasses a range of activities aimed at gaining knowledge about celestial bodies, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as the universe as a whole. Space exploration can involve robotic missions, which transmit data back to Earth, and crewed missions, where astronauts travel into space. The primary goals of space exploration include scientific discovery, technological advancement, resource utilization, and understanding the potential for life beyond Earth. This field has led to significant achievements, including landing on the Moon, sending rovers to Mars, and exploring distant planets and their moons. Overall, space exploration expands our understanding of the cosmos, our solar system’s formation, and the potential for future human settlement beyond Earth.
