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.

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.

Safety
2021 Ansa 4 Disaster
Baltanla's Ansa 4 rocket broke up inflight, leading to numerous causalities when a fuel tank collided with a skyscraper.
2022 Hephaestus Disaster
On 15 October 2022, Aether Industries's Mission Hephaestus to repair satellite Project Poseidon suffered a loss of control and crashed into the Kivu Ocean.[1] While the investigation is ongoing, it is speculated that there was a technical fault within the craft's operating system, Doors OS.[citation needed]
