Aerospace is a constantly expanding field that includes aerospace engineering, aeronautics, space exploration and even some elements of aviation. Our aerospace site examines all aspects of the aerospace field. We'll cover everything from areas of aerospace interest to technology spin-offs to the International Space Station. We'll even explain how to get started with amateur astronomy. Browse our articles to learn... Read more >
A satellite is a manmade device meant to gather information and transmit data back to Earth as it circles the Earth, other planets or the sun. Because the moon and other celestial bodies that orbit planets are sometimes referred to as natural satellites, the manmade variety of satellites may also be called artificial satellites.

As the name suggests, the International Space Station, or ISS as it is commonly known, is an international collaboration that aims to create a connected network of laboratories, living quarters, docking compartments and more in space. When completed in approximately 2010, the ISS will comprise more than 100 major components. Though led by the United States, the International Space Station is the... Read more >
Exactly what are you looking at when you peer up at the night sky and see those bright, sparkling lights, and how is an object put into space? It could be a satellite that provides you with your cable and Internet access, or it could be an asteroid just looking for a place to park. There are over 300 known objects in orbit near Earth, with many, many more still undiscovered. The Near Earth Object... Read more >
Launching vehicles into space offers researchers, governments and commercial agencies the ability to enhance our knowledge, our methods of communication and our systems of defense. While some agencies simply launch and monitor satellites, others may send complicated space vehicles and humans into space. Having a presence in space provides us with a better perspective of Earth, our solar system... Read more >
Amateur astronomers are people who practice astronomy as a hobby rather than as a job. While amateur astronomers don't have any formal training in astronomy, they have enough astronomy skills to observe and study the stars, planets and other heavenly bodies, including: comets constellations galaxies meteors moons satellites. If you're fascinated by the night sky and science, amateur astronomy might... Read more >
For centuries, many famous astronomers have made great contributions to the science of astronomy. Without the efforts of Ptolemy, Galileo and Isaac Newton, we certainly would not know nearly as much about the planets and stars as we do today. Today, we often take for granted the amount of data astronomers have gathered about our planet, the solar system and other galaxies. However, people... Read more >
