Get involved

The Canadian Space is built in the open. Whether you want to pitch a story, improve our data sources, or contribute code, there's a place for you.

Join our Discord

Hang out with other aerospace fans, gamers, and modders. Follow launches, read the daily broadcast, ask questions, chat about mods, or just say hi.

👉 Join the Discord

Once you're in:

  • Read the rules and complete a quick Onboarding
  • Pick which blogs you want notifications from
  • Say hi in #👋-airlock
  • Report bugs on our mods, games, or tools in the dedicated forums

The server is community-moderated, safe-for-work, and everyone is welcome.

Pitch a story

Have a space industry story we should be covering? Want to see us dig into a specific topic in one of our monthly reports?

Email us at [email protected] with:

  • The story or topic idea
  • Why you think it matters
  • Any relevant links or sources

We read everything and consider all pitches.

Suggest a data source

Know an API, RSS feed, or data provider we should be ingesting?

Open an issue on GitHub with:

  • The source name and link
  • Coverage area (e.g., "US launches," "international commercial space")
  • Expected update frequency
  • Any authentication requirements

We'll evaluate it for reliability, coverage, and ethical scraping concerns.

Report an error

Spot a factual error, broken link, or typo?

Open an issue on GitHub or email [email protected] with:

  • What's wrong
  • Where you found it (which post, which section)
  • The correct information (if you have it)

We take accuracy seriously and fix errors quickly.

Contribute code

Want to build on our open-source stack (n8n workflows, Python scrapers, MkDocs wiki)?

Head to The Canadian Space GitHub organization and:

  1. Fork the repo you want to work on
  2. Create a branch for your feature or fix
  3. Open a pull request with a clear description

We use GitHub issues for tracking ideas and bugs. If you're not sure where to start, open an issue and ask—we're happy to point you in the right direction.

Remix & build your own

Our n8n workflows, scrapers, and data pipelines are designed to be remixable. If you want to:

  • Use our data sources in your own project
  • Fork and customize a workflow
  • Build a new tool on top of what we've published

...you're welcome to. Most of our code is open-source. Check the repo for license details.

Support (optional)

Reading is enough. If you want more, Chris has a personal Patreon where he shares hand-authored writing (not TCS content — this is his personal life blog). No paywall on TCS itself, ever.

GitHub is our front door

All our code, issues, and discussions live on GitHub. If you can't find what you're looking for, open an issue—that's the fastest way to get our attention.
