Also means
space (relating to outer space)
Usage Note
Espacial means relating to space or spatial relationships. In astronomy and technology contexts it specifically means relating to outer space: nave espacial ('spaceship'), estación espacial ('space station'). It should not be confused with especial ('special'), which sounds similar and is a very common learner error. The distinction lies in espac- (space) vs espec- (special).
Examples
"El programa espacial recibió más fondos."
