About Orion News

Space and NewSpace news, analysis, and gear — for engineers and enthusiasts who want signal, not noise.

Why this exists

Staying current in the space sector used to mean cycling through a dozen magazines, feeds, and newsletters — spending more time filtering than actually reading. Too much repetition, too little context, and almost no technical depth for anyone who actually knows what they're looking at.

Orion News was built to fix that. One place with the best of the moment: the launches, the missions, the industry shifts — selected, explained, and written for people who understand the engineering behind the headline.

Who writes it

The publication is run by an aerospace engineer with a Master's in Aerospace Science and Technology. The kind of person who finds orbital mechanics genuinely interesting, reads ESA mission reports for fun, and thinks the thermosphere is underrated as a topic.

What drives this isn't a content strategy — it's the simple conviction that space is one of the most interesting things happening right now, and that the immensity of what's up there deserves more than a press release rewrite.

What we cover

News

Launches, missions, and industry announcements — with the context that makes them actually meaningful.

Analysis

Technical and strategic deep dives into the forces shaping the space sector — written for people who want the full picture.

Gear

Honest buying guides for observation equipment — no hype, no padding, just what actually works and why.

Editorial standards

Every article is written with a primary source — NASA, ESA, JAXA, or peer-reviewed material. No speculation presented as fact. No rewriting press releases without adding something. The goal is always to leave the reader knowing more than the headline told them.

Some articles in the Gear section contain affiliate links. When they do, it's disclosed clearly at the bottom of the piece. Editorial decisions are never influenced by affiliate relationships.
