Outline of space exploration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Overview of and topical guide to space exploration

Columbus Module at theInternational Space Station, launched into space on the U.S. Space Shuttle missionSTS-122 in 2008.

The followingoutline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to space exploration.

Space exploration – use ofastronomy andspace technology to exploreouter space.^[1] Physicalexploration of space is conducted both byhuman spaceflights and byrobotic spacecraft.

Essence of space exploration

Space exploration

Big science – Term used to describe a series of changes in science which occurred in industrial nations
Exploration – Process of investigating unfamiliar things
High tech – Most advanced technology available
Space – Void between celestial bodies
Spaceflight – Flight into or through outer space

Branches of space exploration

Human spaceflight – Spaceflight with a crew or passengers
Uncrewed spaceflight – Autonomous space travel without human
