  "definition": "A crewed or uncrewed vehicle designed for flight in outer space, beyond Earth's atmosphere. Maintenance procedures for these craft are exceptionally rigorous, involving detailed pre-flight system checks, post-flight inspections for micrometeoroid damage or heat shield ablation, and component replacement based on telemetry data and operational hours. Unlike commercial aircraft, spaceship maintenance schedules are dictated by mission profiles and the extreme environments of launch, orbit, and reentry.",
