Aerospace comprises the atmosphere of Earth and surrounding space. Typically the term is used to refer to the Aerospace industry, which researches, designs, manufactures, operates, and maintains vehicles moving through air and space. The aerospace field is diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. (Note that "aerospace" is not the same as "airspace," which is a term used to describe the physical air space directly above a location on the ground). Aerospace is the area comprising of atmosphere of Earth and surrounding space.Aerospace science deals with researches,designs,manufactures,operations,maintainence of vehicles moving through air and space like aircraft and spacecraft.The following outline is provided as an overview of and introduction to the aerospace field:
