In the decades following the first Sputnik and Explorer satellites, the ability to put their instruments into outer space gave scientists the opportunity to acquire new information about the natural universe, information that in many cases would have been unobtainable any other way. Space science added a new dimension to the quest for knowledge, complementing and extending what had been gained from centuries of theoretical speculations and ground-based observations.

Overview of the events of 2002 in science
The year 2002 in science and technology involved some significant events
Academic journal
Astrophysics and Space Science is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering astronomy
AstrophysicsAnd space science and astrophysical aspects of astrobiology.It was established in 1968 and is published by Springer Science+Business Media.From 2016 to 2020 the editors-in-chief were both Prof.Elias Brinks and Prof.Jeremy Mould.Since 2020 the sole editor-in-chief is Prof.Elias Brinks.Other editors-in-chief in the past have been Zdeněk Kopal (1968-1993) and Michael A.Dopita (1994-2015).
Ethiopian government organization for space science and technology
The Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute (ESSTI) is an Ethiopian institute for research
Training and infrastructure development in space science
The European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) near Madrid in Spain is the ESA's centre for space science.It hosts the science operation centres for all ESA astronomy and planetary missions together with their scientific archives.Past and present missions represented at ESAC include
Aerospace museum in Kowloon, Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Space Museum is a public astronomy and space science museum located in Tsim Sha Tsui
Hong Kong.Opened on 8 October 1980
It is managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government.The building is notable for its hemispherical shape
Which contains a planetarium
The only one in Hong Kong.The main facilities of the museum are located in a building next to the planetarium
Showcasing information about the Solar System
The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is the national research institute in astronomy and space science of South Korea funded by the South Korean Government.Its headquarters are located in Daejeon
In the Daedeok Science Town.Research at KASI covers main areas of modern astronomy
And Theoretical Astronomy.
The Korea National University of Science and Technology (UST) is a group of public research institutions in Seoul
In South Korea.UST is the leading government-funded research university dedicated to the synergistic effects of research and education in Science and Technology.The UST was established in 2003 by the Ministry of Science
ICT and Future Planning as the nation’s graduate school specializing in science and engineering education and research.The UST runs only a graduate school.Creating the new driving force for growth would play a major role in leading national growth in the new century.The South Korean government established the UST to produce professionals in the field of combined technologies
Thought of as one of the most important criteria for creating the driving force for South Korea's national growth.Today
UST continues to develop itself into a major research university.
Science of planets and planetary systems
Planetary science is the scientific study of planets
Celestial bodies and planetary systems and the processes of their formation.It studies objects ranging in size from micrometeoroids to gas giants
Aiming to determine their composition
Interrelations and history.It is a strongly interdisciplinary field
Which originally grew from astronomy and Earth science
And now incorporates many disciplines
Theoretical planetary science
GlaciologyAnd exoplanetology.Allied disciplines include
Space physicsWhen concerned with the effects of the Sun on the bodies of the Solar System
Instrument in space to study astronomical objects
A space telescope or space observatory is a telescope in outer space used to observe astronomical objects.Suggested by Lyman Spitzer in 1946
The first operational telescopes were the American Orbiting Astronomical Observatory
OAO-2 launched in 1968And the Soviet Orion 1 ultraviolet telescope aboard space station Salyut 1 in 1971.Space telescopes avoid the filtering and distortion (scintillation) of electromagnetic radiation which they observe
And avoid light pollution which ground-based observatories encounter.They are divided into two types:
Satellites which map the entire sky
And satellites which focus on selected astronomical objects or parts of the sky and beyond.Space telescopes are distinct from Earth imaging satellites
Which point toward Earth for satellite imaging
Applied for weather analysis
EspionageAnd other types of information gathering.
Science operations center operated by NASA
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)
Science operations and mission operations center for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
And science operations center for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.STScI was established in 1981 as a community-based science center that is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).STScI's offices are located on the Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus and in the Rotunda building in Baltimore
