Hi, I'm nrl103, and I'm an editor that knows a lot about space! I operate a small website about space called Cosmic Technology.

I don't have any professional credentials but I have significant knowledge about space exploration, astronomy, music, geopolitics, climate science, biology, history, and a bunch of other subjects. I learned much of what I know about these subjects from Wikipedia. I add some improvements to pages, and I have unofficially adopted all work on NASA's SIMPLEx program.

For the near future, I will only be working on projects about space science or exploration. I will focus on writing, citing sources, and page structure, since that's what I'm best at. And note that when I say "project" it might be a very small project. If anyone wants help with any project, advice, or anything, just say something to me on my talk page. Have a good day! :-)

Spacecraft Page Layout Template

edit

While improving spacecraft pages I found that it was hard to know what order to put different sections of the body of the article in. So I looked at the structure of the New Horizons and Juno spacecraft pages and came up with an order that makes sense. This is a template for the structure of spacecraft articles. You can use it as you are developing a page to know where to put sections so that as it gets larger, it stays organized and the order of sections is logical. Please let me know if there are any improvements I can make to it. Hope its helpful! :D
