    The document discusses key concepts in space including planets, the solar system, astronauts, NASA, satellites, and galaxies. It defines planets as celestial bodies orbiting stars like Earth, and describes the solar system as the sun and objects orbiting it directly or indirectly. It notes that astronauts are trained to command or serve on spacecraft, and that NASA is the US agency responsible for civilian space programs. Satellites are defined as objects intentionally placed into orbit, like the first artificial satellite Sputnik 1. The document also lists galaxies but does not define them.

    What is Space
    Planets
    ◦a celestial body moving in an elliptical orbit around a star.
    ◦the earth.
    The Solar System
    ◦The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that
    orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the
    largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, such as the five
    dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. 
    Astronaut

    ◦An astronaut or cosmonaut is


    a person trained by a human
    spaceflight program to
    command, pilot, or serve as a
    crew member of a spacecraft.
    Nasa

    ◦The National Aeronautics and Space


    Administration is an independent agency
    of the United States Federal
    Government responsible for the civilian
    space program, as well as aeronautics and
    aerospace research. NASA was
    established in 1958, succeeding the
    National Advisory Committee for
    Aeronautics.
    Satellite
    ◦In the context of spaceflight,
    a satellite is an object that
    has been intentionally placed
    into orbit. These objects are
    called artificial satellites to
    distinguish them from natural
    satellites such as Earth's
    Moon. On 4 October 1957
    the Soviet Union launched
    the world's first artificial
    satellite, Sputnik 1.
