Jonathan's Space Report (JSR) is a newsletter about the Space Age hosted at Jonathan's Space Page . It is written by Jonathan McDowell , a Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian astrophysicist. [1] It is updated as McDowell's schedule permits, but he tries to publish two issues each month. Originally the website was hosted on a Harvard University account, but it was moved in late 2003 to a dedicated domain. [2]
Started in 1989, [3] the newsletter reports on recent space launches, International Space Station activities, spacecraft developments, and newly released space-related data. McDowell's report occasionally corrects NASA 's official web sites, or provides additional data on classified launches that aren't available elsewhere.
Associated projects on the JSR web site are:
- A catalog of all known geosynchronous satellites and their current positions
- A listing of satellite launch attempts
- A cross-reference between catalog number and international designation of artificial satellites
- A photo archive covering many launch attempts
- A catalog of all spacecraft reentries
McDowell has long campaigned for U.S. compliance with the UN Convention on Registration of Outer Space Objects (1975) and UN Resolution 1721B (1961). [4]
