Welcome to WikiProject Spaceflight! We are a group of Wikipedia editors who work on topics related to the utilisation and exploration of outer space by humans and robotic spacecraft. This WikiProject aims to coordinate the efforts of Wikipedians interested in spaceflight to improve coverage of the topic. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on our discussion page.
- Goals
Our goal is to build the foremost free-content encyclopedia of spaceflight by:
- Expanding, improving, and maintaining articles within the project's scope.
- Creating articles related to relevant topics that do not already exist.
- Assessing the quality of articles and their importance to our project.
- Providing guidelines and recommendations for editors of spaceflight.
- Standardising and better organising supporting content.
- Serving as the central point of discussion for spaceflight issues on Wikipedia.
- Attracting Wikipedians to the cause, focusing our effort.
- Scope
The scope of this project is all topics directly related to spaceflight. Specifically this includes all hardware (i.e. spacecraft), software and wetware (i.e. astronauts, etc.) designed for operation beyond the Kármán line, the suborbital or orbital launch vehicles that place them there, and the ground-based equipment (such as launch pads, control centres and tracking ships) used to support their missions. Individuals, organisations and historical events directly related to spaceflight are also considered to be within the project's scope.
Articles on astronomical objects (such as the Moon, Mars, or asteroids) are not considered within the scope of this project; see WikiProject Solar System and WikiProject Astronomical objects.
