Cargo spacecraft are designed to transport supplies, equipment, and scientific payloads to and from space stations or other celestial bodies. These uncrewed vehicles play a crucial role in supporting human spaceflight missions by delivering essential materials for research and daily operations in space.
The International Space Station is a large spacecraft in low Earth orbit that serves as a home and workplace for astronauts. It is a collaborative project involving multiple countries and space agencies, facilitating scientific research and international cooperation in space exploration.
