A spacecraft is a vehicle or device designed for travel or operations in outer space. It can be manned, carrying astronauts, or unmanned, operating autonomously or remotely controlled. Spacecraft are used for various purposes, including exploration of celestial bodies (e.g., planets, moons, asteroids), scientific research, telecommunications, Earth observation, and space tourism. They can be launched into space using rockets and are equipped with systems to navigate, communicate, and perform specific missions. Spacecraft may include satellites, space probes, space shuttles, and space stations, each serving different functions and objectives in the context of space exploration and utilization.
