Spacecraft - Page 37

A spacecraft is a vehicle or structure designed for travel or operation in outer space. It can be manned or unmanned and is used for various purposes, including scientific research, exploration, communication, and transportation. Spacecraft are equipped with systems for propulsion, navigation, communication, and life support (in the case of crewed missions). They can be launched into space by rockets and may operate in different environments, such as low Earth orbit, interplanetary space, or on planetary surfaces. Common types of spacecraft include satellites, space probes, space stations, and crewed vehicles like the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station (ISS).
