Space Daily covers space exploration, astronomy, Earth systems, life sciences and the engineering of discovery. Human behaviour, history and policy belong on Space Daily only when they are directly connected to missions, scientific work or the consequences of exploration. This page explains the editorial standards and production practices that apply to what we publish.
Our standards
Source verification. We use primary and authoritative sources where practical, including peer-reviewed research, official mission and agency material, institutional releases, public records, and direct statements. We link or attribute sources where appropriate. Important factual claims are supportable and important sources are linked. We claim interviews and direct contact with a source only when they occurred.
Scientific accuracy. We aim to distinguish established findings from preliminary research, interpretation, and speculation. Headlines and summaries should fairly reflect the underlying source and level of certainty.
Editorial independence. Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate, and other commercial relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions. Sponsored or paid material is identified where required. Affiliate links and products or services connected to Brown Brothers Media are disclosed in the article itself, near the recommendation.
Corrections. We correct material errors promptly. Substantive corrections are noted on the article in accordance with our Corrections Policy. Material corrections carry a dated note, and where the central premise of an article cannot be supported we withdraw the article.
Authors, editors, and house columns
An article may be published under the name of a real human author or contributor. A named byline is a real person who approves publication and any personal material attributed to them. It may instead be published under a Space Daily house column when the work is produced through our newsroom workflow rather than presented as the work of a single individual.
A house-column name is an editorial label, not a fictional person. House bylines are collective and do not claim personal experience, interviews or credentials. Our editorial standards require human review and approval before publication, including for work published under a house-column label. Space Daily and its editorial team retain responsibility for the published work.
Biographical information about our editors and regular contributors appears on our Masthead and author pages.
Use of AI tools
Space Daily uses AI-assisted tools in parts of its publishing workflow. They may assist with research, source discovery, transcription, summarising source material, drafting, fact-checking support, headline development, and post-publication quality checks such as reviewing links and citations. AI may produce much of an initial draft.
AI is not treated as an author and does not have authority to decide what Space Daily covers or publishes. Our editorial standards require a member of our team to review and approve each article before publication. Space Daily’s editorial team remains responsible for checking sources, attribution, factual claims, and the final presentation.
We do not use AI to fabricate quotations, invent sources, impersonate real people, or present generated material as first-hand reporting. If we publish an image or other media item that has been materially generated or altered using AI and that fact would not otherwise be obvious, we identify it in the caption, credit, or accompanying text.
News releases and contributed material
We may report from news releases, research announcements, wire material, freelance work, guest contributions, and information supplied by organisations. We edit and attribute this material as appropriate. Publication does not necessarily mean Space Daily endorses the views of a source or contributor.

Publication history and archive
Space Daily began publishing in 1995 and was founded in Tokyo. Its archive spans several ownership and editorial eras.
Current standards apply to new work and to older articles that we substantively review. We do not describe a migrated or reformatted archive article as updated unless its reporting or conclusions were materially reviewed.
Space Daily is operated and published by Brown Brothers Media Pte. Ltd. The governing statement of these standards is Brown Brothers Media’s editorial framework, revised 17 September 2026; where this page and the framework differ, the framework applies.
