What belongs in The Space List?

It costs nothing to submit. Whether you're a startup, entrepreneur, solopreneur, astropreneur, small studio, freelancer, student, or even an astronaut, we'd love to see what incredible space things you've been working on - and we know the TSL audience does too!

However, the listings featured on TSL are highly curated and submission is not a guarantee of being featured. All submissions are reviewed by TSL Team for accuracy, and whether they meet the intent of this database.

Submissions to TSL have a stronger chance of being approved quickly if they have some, if not most, of these qualities below.

This is meant to be a guide by which most TSL database listings can be identified. They are by no means hard and fast rules and are subject to change!
