Space news is just as pervasive on the Internet or in cyberspace, if not more. Internet and the news industry were made for each other, little wonder then that is news websites account for about 60-65% of all Internet traffic and space related news sites account for about 30% of this, according to various estimates.


With technological achievement one after the other to be violated and broken; especially in computer science and telecommunications, space activities in General has proliferated in recent years and with it the news business. The most obvious sources of space related news on the Internet, the websites of national/regional administrative organs, as NASA; CNES; ESA; ISRO; JAXA; CNSA; BIS; DLR; and ASRI.


However, the news on these sites are sometimes and understandably so, biased towards their own particular sphere of activity; not always, but in General. Consequently, hundreds of newspendant inde space linked sites have sprung up in recent years, in an effort to provide more uniform coverage of space-related activities and events, such as daily space; Space.com; Sky & Telescope; Aon space, that is to do with finance; SatNews.com, and others. These are really professional and well thought out site with easy to follow diagrams and page layout of interesting articles and information that will appeal to most readers. The enthusiast of space is truly spoilt for choice.
