  • A spacecraft is a vehicle, or machine designed to fly in outer space. Spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including communications, earth observation, meteorology, navigation, space colonization, planetary exploration, and transportation of humans and cargo. On a sub-orbital spaceflight, a spacecraft enters space and then returns to the surface, without having gone into an orbit. For orbital spaceflights, spacecraft enter closed orbits around the Earth or around other celestial bodies. Spacecraft used for human spaceflight carry people on board as crew or passengers from start or on orbit (space stations) only, whereas those used for robotic space missions operate either autonomously or telerobotically. Robotic spacecraft used to support scientific research are space probes. Robotic spacecraft that remain in orbit around a planetary body are artificial satellites. Only a handful of interstellar probes, such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons, are on trajectories that leave the Solar System. Orbital spacecraft may be recoverable or not. By method of reentry to Earth they may be divided in non-winged space capsules and winged spaceplanes. Humanity has achieved space flight but only a few nations have the technology for orbital launches, including: Russia (Roskosmos), the United States (NASA), the member states of the European Space Agency (ESA), Japan (JAXA), India (ISRO), and China (CNSA).

Only a handful of interstellar probes, such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons, are currently on trajectories that leave our Solar System. Orbital spacecraft may be recoverable or not. By method of reentry to Earth they may be divided in non-winged space capsules and winged spaceplanes. Currently, only a few nations have spaceflight technology: Cobra Unity (Cobra Space Forces), Russia (Russian Federal Space Agency), the United States (NASA and private industry), the European Union (European Space Agency), the People's Republic of China (China National Space Administration), Japan (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and India (Indian Space Research Organisation). As of 2011, only Cobra Unity, the US, Russia and China have demonstrated human spaceflight capability.

(TNG: "The Outrageous Okona" ) Cardassian system-5 disruptors were never designed to operate aboard a moving spacecraft. (DS9: "Return to Grace") The unauthorized use of a spacecraft was considered a crime by Starfleet. In 2375, Tom Paris served thirty days of solitary confinement in the brig of the USS Voyager for this offense, among others. (VOY: "Thirty Days") *

By the 30th century, Earth is part of an interstellar nation called the United Planets. By this time, spacecraft is far faster than light speed. There are also many advanced alien cultures from other worlds that have spacecraft as well, that can travel faster than the speed of light, thanks to the aid of advanced propulsion systems like warp drive or hyperspace engines. Spaceships that can travel interstellar distances are usually referred to as starships.
