Aerospace engineering
NASA engineers, seen here in mission control during Apollo 13, worked diligently to protect the lives of the astronauts on the mission.
Aerospace engineering is a field of engineering that specializes in vehicles that move in fluids or in a vacuum. This usually means working with airplanes, satellites, rockets or spacecraft.[1]
