Space exploration is a global effort, with major space agencies like NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, CNSA, and ISRO contributing to humanity’s exploration of the cosmos. NASA, the United States' space agency, is known for its pioneering missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Roscosmos, Russia’s space agency, has a long history of space exploration, including the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin.
The European Space Agency (ESA) collaborates on various missions, such as the Rosetta comet mission, while the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has made significant strides with its Chang'e lunar missions. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved impressive feats, such as the successful Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan).
