Astronautical engineering is the field of engineering that is specifically concerned with the development of craft operation in space. It is associated with two other major branches; Aerospace engineering and aeronautical engineering which are essentially the same field. Aeronautics was the original name of this field, but was later phased to be called aerospace due to the advancement of technology in avionics, which typically deals with the electronic components of aerospace. Astronautical engineering evolved from aerospace engineering as aircraft technology advanced out to space.
