Aerospace refers to the branch of technology and industry concerned with the design, development, and production of aircraft and spacecraft. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including the exploration of outer space as well as the operation of aircraft within the Earth's atmosphere. The term combines two main areas: "aero," relating to the atmosphere and flight, and "space," pertaining to the expanse beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Aerospace involves disciplines such as aerodynamics, avionics, propulsion, materials science, and systems engineering. It plays a critical role in commercial aviation, military defense, satellite communications, and space exploration, contributing significantly to transport, science, and technology.
