A spacecraft is a vehicle designed to travel and operate in outer space. It can be launched into orbit around Earth, sent on a mission to explore other planets or celestial bodies within our solar system, or even beyond it. Spacecraft are equipped with various systems such as propulsion, power generation, communication, navigation, thermal control, and life support that enable them to perform their intended tasks in space. The design of a spacecraft depends on its mission objectives, the environment it will operate in, and the technology available for building it.
