Spaceflight
Spaceflight (or space flight) is an application of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board. Most spaceflight is uncrewed and conducted mainly with spacecraft such as satellites in orbit, but also includes space probes for beyond orbit of Terraconserva. Such spaceflight operates either by telerobotic or autonomous control.

History
Crewed flight
Humans have flown to the Moon a cumulative of nine times, through programs sponsored by the Qubecshirite and Eminopler governments, and a continous human presence in orbit has been maintained through the Terraconserva Orbital Station. Five countries have the capabilities required to independently manage human spaceflight operations- Two nations participate by providing astronauts to serve as crew. While commercial crewed spaceflight exists, a large majority of the aerospace industry produces launch hardware for satellites.
