spaceborne
Traveling through cosmos
Spaceborne means carried or operating in outer space: spaceborne telescopes, spaceborne radar systems.
The term typically describes instruments, equipment, or missions deployed beyond Earth's atmosphere, distinguishing them from ground-based alternatives.
The spaceborne sensor detected atmospheric changes invisible from Earth.
