aerospace
Atmosphere and beyond
Aerospace refers to Earth's atmosphere and the space beyond it, considered as a single realm for flight and navigation.
The term combines aeronautics (atmospheric flight) and astronautics (space travel).
As an adjective, it describes the industry, technology, and science of aircraft and spacecraft: aerospace engineering, the aerospace sector, aerospace companies like Boeing and SpaceX.
