Spacecraft development involves the design, construction, and testing of vehicles intended for travel or operation in outer space. This process includes various stages, such as conceptual design, engineering, and manufacturing, ensuring that the spacecraft can withstand the harsh conditions of space, including extreme temperatures and radiation. Key components of spacecraft development include propulsion systems, communication equipment, and life support systems. Organizations like NASA and SpaceX play significant roles in advancing spacecraft technology, enabling missions to the International Space Station and beyond. Successful development requires collaboration among engineers, scientists, and technicians to meet mission objectives.
