Spacecrafts are vehicles designed for travel or operation in outer space. They are built to carry instruments, crew, or cargo beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Spacecrafts can be classified into various types, including crewed spacecraft, which transport astronauts, and uncrewed spacecraft, which operate autonomously or with remote control from Earth.
They typically operate in a range of environments, from low Earth orbit to interplanetary missions. Common types of spacecraft include satellites, space probes, space stations, and landers. Each type serves distinct purposes, such as communication, exploration, scientific research, and transportation.
Spacecrafts are equipped with advanced technologies enabling them to navigate, communicate, and perform tasks in the challenging conditions of space, including extremes of temperature, vacuum, and radiation. The design and construction of spacecraft require significant engineering and scientific expertise to ensure successful missions.
