Missions

In the context of space and astronautical engineering, missions refer to the planned and organized activities that involve sending spacecraft, satellites, or humans to explore, study, or utilize space. Missions can be classified into different types based on their objectives, such as scientific missions to study celestial bodies, commercial missions to provide services like communication or navigation, or human missions to establish a presence or conduct research in space. The success of a mission depends on various factors, including the design and development of the spacecraft, the launch vehicle and launch operations, the trajectory and navigation, the communication and control systems, and the scientific or operational objectives. Missions can also involve international cooperation and collaboration, as well as legal and policy frameworks that govern the use of space.
