space research
Studying the cosmos
Space research is the scientific investigation of outer space and celestial bodies, conducted through telescopes, satellites, probes, and crewed missions.
It encompasses fields like astronomy, astrophysics, planetary science, and the study of how spaceflight affects living organisms.
Space research has transformed our understanding of the solar system.
The term often appears in institutional contexts, as in government agencies devoted to space research.
