Major Space Missions and Discoveries

Some of the world's major space missions include astonishing expeditions that have exceeded our imagination. The pioneering efforts of the first human landing on Mars, such as the Perseverance rover reaching Mars, have helped us learn many unknown things.

Through space exploration, we have been able to learn new information about exoplanets and celestial objects. For example, through the Hubble Space Telescope, images of distant galactic systems have given reality to our imagination. Additionally, research on gravity and radiation has also become revolutionary.

With the help of probe and telemetry technology, we have entered uncharted regions of space and discovered various spectacular elements.

These missions were not only important in the scientific field, but have also led our thinking and future towards more innovative paths. Space research has revolutionized our concepts about Earth and the universe.
