Hi, I am new to this forum, I am a junior at High Shcool and I am interested in studying some sort of space engineering, but here is my question, What is the difference between Astronautics and Aerospace Engineering?
Astronautics is the branch of engineering that deals with designing, building, and operating spacecraft.
Aerospace is the branch of engineering that deals with designing, building, and operating aircraft and spacecraft.
The main difference between astronautics and aerospace is that astronautics focuses specifically on spacecraft, while aerospace includes both aircraft and spacecraft.
Some examples of applications of astronautics and aerospace include satellite technology, space exploration missions, commercial and military aircraft, and missile defense systems.
To work in the field of astronautics and aerospace, one needs a strong background in mathematics and physics, as well as knowledge and experience in engineering and computer science. Strong problem-solving and communication skills are also important in this field.
