Cover the orbital data center race with sourced facts
Space data centers are a busy beat: launches, FCC filings and partnership announcements land every week, and many claims are targets rather than hardware. The report separates what is in orbit from what is filed or only announced, and gives the source for every line.
How media teams use Orbitwren
- Use At a glance to see which projects are in orbit, planned, filed or only announced.
- Open the profile of the company you are writing about and copy the fact with its source link.
- Check the Change log and launch calendar for what moved since the last edition.
- Attribute data to Orbitwren by CyberMax and link the original sources.
Status labels follow the evidence: 'in orbit' only when a launch and operation are reported by the company or reputable news, 'filed' for regulatory filings, 'announced' for statements of intent.
Open questions lists what no company has published yet, which is often the most useful part for a reporter.
