From massive orbiting satellites to molecules undetectable without a nanoscope, this category of space science covers a board spectrum of the materials that allow humans to explore the cosmos beyond our stratosphere.
Nanoscience is the study of the properties of matter at the atomic and molecular level. Matter on the nanometer scale, approximately 1,000 times smaller than the width of human hair, exhibits unique properties that enable novel innovative applications. These scientist utilize state-of-the-art equipment to observe, measure, manipulate, and manufacture matter at the nanometer scale.
Space technology is used to support or conduct activities in space, benefittng astronomy and planetary science. This can includes vehicles (spacecraft, satellites, stations and orbital launching), deep-space communication, in-space propulsion, and a wide range of other technologies that support infrastructure and procedures.
