Editorial and source policy

How Leo.space handles publishing, attribution, and ingestion

Coverage scope

Leo.space is tuned for readers who care about launches, low earth orbit services, station logistics, satellite operations, and the practical utility layer around space activity.

Original content and source-based articles

The publication supports two initial content paths: direct editorial posts and agreement-based source ingestion. Direct posts can be submitted as prepared article content. Source-based posts can be created from approved URLs, then summarized and published with clear attribution and trackback to the originating publisher.

Async ingestion engine

A new ingestion queue accepts two payload types:

  • direct-html for internally prepared content submitted through a future portal
  • source-url for linked source material that can be snapshotted, summarized, and routed into review

Each job stores submission metadata, category, tags, partner reference, agreement note, and source-domain context so downstream processors can create draft articles safely.

Attribution and agreements

Source-derived content must carry explicit attribution, retain the original source URL, and note any licensing or agreement reference used to authorize the summary or snapshot. Leo.space article pages are now wired to display that attribution in-page.

Roadmap

After the editorial baseline is stable, Leo.space will expand into reader utilities for orbital object tracking, including ISS visibility and HAM radio contact workflows.
