Space Science

The term space science may mean:

  • The study of issues specifically related to space travel and space exploration, including space medicine.
  • Science performed in outer space (see space research).
  • The study of everything in outer space; this is sometimes called astronomy, but more recently astronomy can also be regarded as a division of broader space science, which has grown to include other related fields.
