Morphology
The meaning 'the act of traveling beyond the Earth's atmosphere' is a straightforward composition of 'space' (the cosmos beyond the atmosphere) and 'travel' (journeying). This noun-noun combination follows common compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Space travel comes from a simple picture: space (the area above the Earth) and travel (to go somewhere). So the phrase means 'to travel into space' by spacecraft.
