Exorbit Space Blog

Short notes on space startups, astronomy learning, technology trends, and the model-verification standard behind the site.

Maintained as generated pages

These legacy blog routes are now generated with the same mathematical verification/status requirement as the rest of the website.

Editorial Standard

How blog claims are handled

No image-derived proof

Blog visuals and page decoration are not accepted as evidence for a physics or engineering claim.

Quantitative claims need a model

Numbers, scale, motion, and object layout must be tied to a data source, unit conversion, or equation on the relevant page.

Simulations link back

When a blog post points to a simulator, the simulator carries its own model assumptions, proof notes, and limitations.

Mathematical model

Page model status

This page does not introduce a standalone generated physics or engineering simulation. Any decorative background or static illustration is presentation only; mathematical claims must come from the cited equations, catalog values, or linked model-verification pages.

No image-derived claim

\[\text{visual decoration} \ne \text{physical model}\]

Decorative images, icons, and background effects on this page are not used as evidence for a scientific or engineering statement.

Content claim standard

\[\text{claim} \rightarrow \text{source field or equation}\]

If the text gives a quantitative fact, it must be traceable to a data field, unit conversion, or equation on the relevant detailed page.

Model handoff

\[\text{open } \mathtt{/model\text{-verification/}}\]

Interactive pages linked from here carry their own mathematical model sections with equations, assumptions, proof notes, and limitations.

Verification standard: the rendered object must be reproducible from stated equations, catalog parameters, or explicit geometric transforms. Visual reference images may inform presentation only; they are not the source of orbital positions, field vectors, accretion-disk gradients, timing, or engineering layout.

Limitations: browser scenes may use bounded scale, compressed distances, simplified two-body dynamics, schematic transfer curves, or educational approximations where full numerical ephemerides, CFD, finite-element models, or general-relativistic ray tracing are outside the page scope. Those simplifications are part of the model contract, not hidden image-based construction.
