Space exploration is the use of astronomy and space technology to explore outer space.hysical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights and by robotic spacecraft.

Some of NASA's most public, major accomplishments include: The United States' first satellite, "Explorer 1," the International Space Station (where astronauts can live temporarily,) Apollo 11 (first man on the moon,) the invention of the reusable space shuttle, the Hubble Telescope, the Chandra X-ray, and the Mars Rovers.
NASA and all the world's space agencies send their astronauts into space for a specific mission in a given amount of time. They all return when their mission ends. Some have been up for a matter of 15 minutes, while others have been up for more than a year. It just all depends on their mission.
