About Us
SpaceNews is an independent publication dedicated to one of humanity's greatest adventures: the exploration of space. From rocket launches and space station operations to deep-space science and the race back to the Moon, we cover the missions, machines, and discoveries shaping our future beyond Earth.
What We Cover
- Missions — launches, landings, space station operations, and deep-space voyages.
- Technology — rockets, spacecraft, satellites, spacesuits, and the engineering behind them.
- Astronomy — telescopes, exoplanets, galaxies, and cosmic discoveries.
- Exploration — the Moon, Mars, and humanity's long-term future in space.
Our Editorial Standards
Space is complicated, and so is reporting on it. We hold ourselves to a simple standard: get the facts right, show our work, and fix our mistakes.
- Accuracy first. We base our reporting on primary sources — space agencies, official mission updates, peer-reviewed research, and direct statements — wherever possible.
- Clear sourcing. When we cite a claim, we tell you where it came from so you can check it yourself.
- Corrections. When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and transparently. If you spot an error, please let us know.
- No hype without evidence. We distinguish between what has happened, what is planned, and what is merely hoped for — especially with launch dates.
