Detailed Solution

Yes. Space missions are classified based on purpose and whether humans are directly involved:

Manned (Crewed) Missions: Carry astronauts to space. Examples: Apollo moon landings, International Space Station (ISS) missions, SpaceX Crew Dragon flights. They focus on exploration, research, and long-duration habitation.
Unmanned Missions: Operated remotely without humans on board. These include satellites, robotic landers, and space probes like Voyager, Hubble Space Telescope, and Mars rovers.
Exploratory Missions: A subset of unmanned or manned missions aimed at investigating new celestial bodies or phenomena, such as the Mars Perseverance rover or the James Webb Space Telescope.
Commercial Missions: Increasingly run by private companies for communication, tourism, or research.
Military Missions: Designed for defense or surveillance in space.
