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-htmlfor internally prepared content submitted through a future portalsource-urlfor 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.
