Astronautics is the science of spaceflight. It covers the fields of space travel and space exploration. It is divided into a number of subfields covering various aspects of spaceflight.

Astrodynamics

Orbital mechanics

Spacecraft Propulsion

Propulsion

Propellant

Fuel

Propulsion systems

Spacecraft design

Spacecraft controls

Space environment

Bioastronautics

Aeronautics differs from astronautics in that it is the science of atmospheric flight. Aeronautics on Mars can be viewed either as a subset of spaceflight or as an extension of aeronautics.
