INTRODUCTION:
Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and
outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of
commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace
engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace
organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain both
aircraft and spacecraft.

In most industrial countries, the aerospace industry is a cooperation of

the public and private sectors. For example, several states have a
civilian space program funded by the government, such as National
Aeronautics and Space Administration in the United States, European
Space Agency in Europe, the Canadian Space Agency in Canada, Indian
Space Research Organisation in India, Japan Aerospace Exploration
Agency in Japan, Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities in
Russia, China National Space Administration in China, SUPARCO in
Pakistan, Iranian Space Agency in Iran, and Korea Aerospace Research
Institute in South Korea.

AEROSPACE SECTOR:
The aerospace sector, one of the largest and most powerful industries
in the United States, supplies five markets: military aircraft, missiles,
space, commercial airliners, and general aviation. The U.S. aerospace

sector is considered the largest in the world and is the main supplier of
both military and civil aerospace hardware to the rest of the world.
This sector directly employs about 509,000 workers in scientific and
technical jobs and supports more than 700,000 jobs in related fields.

Because of the great emphasis on research and development (R&D),

about 25% of those who work in aerospace are engineers, scientists,
and technicians. Aviation is one of the fastest-growing industries in the
United States, and it has increased yearly at the rate of at least 24%.

DIVERSE AND EVOLVING NATURE OF

AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY:
Aeronautics:
Commercial Aviation: Involves
design and manufacturing of
commercial aircraft for passenger
and cargo transport.

Military Aviation: Focuses on the

development of fighter jets,
reconnaissance aircraft, and other military aerial vehicles.

well-being of astronauts during extended space
missions.

Reusable Launch Vehicl

Vehicles:
SpaceX's Falcon Series: Examples of reusable
launch vehicles designed to reduce the cost of
reaching orbit by reusing components.

Spaceplane Concepts: Experimental aircraft

capable of reaching space and returning to Earth
for reuse.
Emerging Technologies:
