space voyage

Trip beyond atmosphere

A space voyage is a journey beyond Earth's atmosphere, typically to orbit, the moon, or other celestial bodies.

The term carries romantic overtones of exploration and adventure, echoing the age of ocean voyages: The crew prepared for humanity's first interstellar space voyage.

Often shortened to simply voyage in context.
