Spaceflight
Spaceflight is the use of
space technology
to fly a
spacecraft
into and through
outer space
.Spaceflight is used in
space exploration
, and also in commercial activities like
space tourism
and
satellite telecommunications
. Additional non-commercial uses of spaceflight include
space observatories
,
reconnaissance satellites
and other
earth observation satellites
.A spaceflight typically begins with a
rocket
launch
, which provides the initial thrust to overcome the force of
gravity
and propels the spacecraft from the surface of the Earth. Once in space, the motion of a spacecraft -- both when unpropelled and when under propulsion -- is covered by the area of study called
astrodynamics
. Some spacecraft remain in space indefinitely, some disintegrate during
atmospheric reentry
, and others reach a planetary or lunar surface for landing or impact.
