Columns
Our columns are publication desks, not individual people. Each covers a defined beat, and Space Daily takes editorial responsibility for what appears under it.
Space Daily Editorial Team
General desk
The Space Daily Editorial Team is the publication’s general news desk across Space and Missions, Universe, Earth and Life, Science and Engineering, and Human Factors. Space Daily takes responsibility for current articles under this byline.

Life Signs
Nature and earth science
Life Signs is where Space Daily looks down instead of up. Animals, ecosystems, and Earth science, with a bias for peer-reviewed studies over press-release hype. The living world turns out to be at least as strange as anything in orbit.

Mission Notes
Spaceflight and industry
Mission Notes follows the business and engineering of spaceflight. Rockets, satellites, contracts, and the industry behind the missions. Space Daily has reported on this beat since 1995, when the launch industry was a fraction of its current size.
Read the column →Editorial process
A named byline is the writer. A desk byline, the Space Daily Editorial Team or a house column, means the publication takes responsibility for the piece. Where an editor is named on the article, that person handled the review. Untouched inherited articles carry an archive note instead.
Tools, including AI, may be used in research, drafting, and editing. Space Daily is responsible for sources, claims, and the final article.
For details on our standards, see Editorial Policy. For our corrections process, see Corrections.
Ownership
Space Daily is operated and published by Brown Brothers Media Pte. Ltd. and funded primarily by display advertising. Editorial decisions are independent of advertisers, sponsors, and external parties.
