Cosmic Gate was a big name in hard trance in the early part of the 00s. They were still around later, but infamously "sold out" and started doing some other kind of music, that was presumably more commercially successful. At the very least, their fans weren't thrilled with the change in direction. But they had two albums worth of material, plus many singles and remixes, etc. of really good, solid, millennial hardtrance before they started doing... whatever it was that they were doing (I admit, I'm not curious enough to investigate really, other than a quick glance at discogs. Their first two albums are listed as trance and hard trance, but the next ones get labels like trance, progressive trance, progressive house, etc. Hard trance is right out, but it was the hardtrance sound that really made them what they were in the minds of their audience, I think.
Anyway, "Exploration of Space" is one of their early hardtrance hits, and it comes in a variety of remixes and whatnot. Here's the Green Court remix.
