Aeronautical engineering deals with vehicles which operates

in the atmosphere

Aeronautical engineering deals with vehicles operating in space.

Aeronautical engineering works on tunnel tests, analyzing

flight test data, manned space flights, planning future

space missions, spacecraft operations, designing and testing

robotic systems, developing new propulsion system, computing

optimum flight trajectories, developing communication

systems for distance space probes and designing new rockets.

Astronautical engineer includes designing power systems for

spacecraft structure, developing communications systems for

distant space probes, developing hardware skills for

operations in spacecraft, designing and testing robotic

systems, developing new propulsion systems and computing

optimum flight.
