Spacecraft

Every crewed and robotic vehicle this atlas records apart from launch vehicles, which now have their own category: probes, orbiters, landers, rovers, crewed spacecraft, stations and their kin, grouped by function. This category owns a craft's own design and operational history; the mission it flew and the agency that built it are separate entities linked by relationship, and the underlying rocketry and propulsion engineering as a field of study belongs to Technology, this atlas keeping only the named vehicle itself.
