Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Courses, a live satellite tracker, every upcoming launch, embeddable widgets and fact-checked explainers: free, current, and usable by a class of thirty without a single sign-up.
The industry changes faster than any print cycle, and the live sources are usually locked.
The rocket count, the station plan and the launch prices in a printed text are out of date by the time it ships. Students notice. Everything here reads from live trackers or carries a visible "as of" date.
Most "live" space sites need an account before a student can see anything. Every resource on this page works without one, so a class of thirty can use it on the day.
A lesson on Artemis, the ISS or launch economics means stitching together press releases, Wikipedia and news. The guides here are written to be assigned, with sources and an FAQ each.
Twelve resources a lesson can be built on today.
No. Every resource on this page is free and works without an account. A free account is only needed if a student wants to save Learning Zone progress. Launch email alerts need no account at all: enter an email on any launch, rocket or launch-site page and confirm it. The paid plan exists for business users and gates none of the educational material.
Yes. The widgets page gives you a one-line iframe for a launch countdown, the live launch calendar, the launch-cadence index, space weather and more. They work in any LMS or website that allows iframes, need no key, and link back to the source data.
Launch data comes from the Launch Library feed and our own tracker; satellite positions from public orbital elements (TLEs) propagated with SGP4; prices and company figures from public filings and published list prices, each dated on the page where it appears. Cite the page URL and the "as of" date shown; our guides list their sources at the bottom.
The trackers, glossary, history and launch pages are written for a general audience and carry no ads on educational guides. The business and investing sections assume more background. Space Tycoon is a strategy game with no real-money purchases that affect play.
Not as a product: nothing here needs to be licensed. If you are building a course around SpaceNexus data or want a dataset in a particular shape, tell us through the contact page; several of our guides exist because a reader asked.
Tell us what you used and what was missing. Several guides on this site exist because a teacher asked for them.
