What is Aerospace?
Aerospace engineering is the one of the most recent branch of engineering and is “a complex, rapidly changing field.” Aerospace is primarily focused on developing flight vehicles, such as an aircraft, military missiles, spacecrafts and satellites. The values of aerodynamics can be applied to other vehicles and systems including submarines, trucks, automobiles and can even include exotic materials, robotics and programmable simulations.
Aerospace engineering began in the 19th century. This is where the experiments of powered flight began and two different engineering began, aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Early innovators of powered, lighter-than-air craft included Henri Giffard who in 1852 flew the first steerable steam powered aircraft and Ferdinand von Zeppelin who built and flew the first rigid airship in 1900.

What is Astronautics?
Astronautics is about the design and operation of space vehicles such as probes and satellites. It also includes the design of spacecrafts, space operations, rocket vehicle design and numerous other areas of space technology. It also gives a foundation for space exploration like manned missions to the moon and planets.
