SpaceDaily.com is an independent publication covering space industry news, founded in 1995 by Simon Mansfield in Tokyo. The site continues that founding mission today: rigorous, accurate, and timely coverage of the space industry, science, and exploration, alongside thoughtful coverage of the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes.
Our mission is to arm professionals from industry, science, and education with the latest trends and developments in space exploration and technology. Our objective is to deliver a factual and enlightening news service via visually appealing, user-friendly, and engaging digital platforms. This focus on business and technology permeates all our sites, leading to their high esteem and frequent visitation by peers.
Our coverage spans two complementary pillars. Space Industry News covers launches, missions, satellites, defense, and the technology and policy of getting humans to space. Mind & Meaning covers the human side of frontier life: the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes. From the introvert who needs three days alone after a party to the astronaut managing isolation on the ISS, this section explores how people make sense of themselves and others, and what frontier life teaches us about being human. Both pillars share a common thesis: the same ambitions, pressures, and patterns of mind that drive humanity to the stars also shape how we live on Earth.
SpaceDaily.com serves a diverse audience comprised of space industry professionals, researchers, analysts, and students with a profound interest in space exploration and sophisticated technology. Since our establishment in 1995, we’ve built a substantial international readership, reaching beyond space industry professionals to a broad spectrum of experts and enthusiasts across various sectors. Our dedication to providing reliable, relevant, and current content has allowed us to continuously grow our reader base, fostering a community as engaged and diverse as the universe we report on.
Our content encompasses news articles, in-depth analyses, and enlightening features. We receive formal news services from multiple international agencies, including AFP, UPI, PR Newswire, and Business Wire, operating via both automated and manual procedures.

Our team is a group of journalists, science writers, and technology specialists. Our editorial direction emphasizes rigorous reporting on space industry developments alongside thoughtful coverage of the psychology and human dynamics that shape frontier life. The synergy between editorial and technology functions ensures the delivery of high-quality, pertinent content.
We stand by the highest journalistic standards, quickly rectifying published articles as necessary and addressing copyright issues in a legal and timely fashion. We occasionally publish standalone opinion articles, clearly identifying and attributing them to individuals with relevant biographies. Quotes within news articles are clearly marked as attributable opinions.
We employ modern AI technologies to support content curation and editorial workflows. These systems help us scan, summarize, and contextualize developments across a fast-moving industry, but every published piece is editorially directed and reviewed. Our integration of automated systems is part of how we have sustained continuous, high-cadence coverage of the space sector for nearly three decades.
We operate as a free news service without paywalls or login requirements. Our operations are supported by advertising revenue. We work with reputable advertising networks and partners to ensure ad quality and reader experience are maintained.
