NASASpaceflight original reporting has been referenced by various news outlets on spaceflight-specific news, such as MSNBC,[1] USA Today[2] and The New York Times,[3] among others.
NASASpaceflight also produces videos and live streams of rocket launches online, with a special focus on developments at SpaceX's Starbase facility,[4][5] for which they were recognized with an award by SpaceNews.[6] NSF provides livestream production services to Firefly Aerospace for launches of their Alpha rocket and to Isar Aerospace for launches of their Spectrum rocket.[7][8] NSF is also currently providing three 24/7 live-streams covering the following:
- The Starship operations at Starbase in Texas;[9]
- The testing of the Raptor, Merlin, and SuperDraco engines near McGregor, Texas;[10]
- Various live videos from Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center in Florida.[11]
NSF was founded by managing editor Chris Bergin, and is owned and operated by John "Das" Galloway. The NSF content is produced by a team of spaceflight reporters, journalists, contributors, editors, photographers, and videographers across the United States and other countries.[12]
NSF offers several tiers of paid membership through their YouTube channel, and either a recurring or lifetime "L2" membership on their website for exclusive photo galleries and access to certain sections of their forum.[13][14]
NSF also operates the Next Spaceflight website, which keeps track of spaceflight launches, launch pad locations, reusable vehicles, Starship hardware, and maintains a list of all orbital rockets. They also operate a mobile app for prelaunch notifications, launch timelines, and 3D flight simulations.[15][non-primary source needed]
