ISS Info Team

ISS Info Team is the byline that appears on the issinfo.net blog. It covers a small group of writers and editors with backgrounds in software engineering, science writing, and aerospace research who together produce long-form articles about the International Space Station, the Artemis programme, and human spaceflight.

How we work

Every post starts with research against primary sources, not summaries of other blogs. We read NASA mission reports, ESA and JAXA technical notes, peer-reviewed journals where available, and official agency interviews and press kits. Where a claim hinges on a particular fact, we cite it inline or in a Sources line at the end of the post so readers can follow the trail.

Drafts are written long, then edited for accuracy, clarity, and pace. British English, third-person voice, plain sentences. No em-dashes, no emoji, no clickbait. We update posts when material changes; substantive edits are surfaced with an updated date in the byline so readers know what they are reading.

Sources we cite

  • NASA mission and programme pages (nasa.gov), official press kits, and crew interviews
  • ESA, JAXA, CSA, and Roscosmos technical and public communications
  • Peer-reviewed journals (Frontiers in Robotics and AI, Acta Astronautica, AIAA papers)
  • ISS National Lab (Upward magazine) and CASIS programme briefings
  • Space-Track.org for orbital elements and TLE data we render on the site
  • NORAD and FAA records for launch and re-entry context

Editorial corrections

If a fact in any post is wrong, we want to know. Substantive corrections are made inline and reflected in the post's updated date. For the most material changes, we add a note at the end of the article. You can reach us via the contact details on the about page.

The site behind the byline

issinfo.net is a real-time tracker for the International Space Station. The live tracker, next-pass predictor, and Who is in Space pages are written and run by the same team that writes the blog. We treat the blog as the long-form companion to the live data: explainers, deep dives, and historical context for what the tracker is showing.
