Introducing Space Quotes
We just launched Space Quotes. It’s a small site, but the part worth your attention is what powers it.
Space Quotes turns the dense public record of space regulation into short dispatches we call “tidbits.” Each one is built around a verbatim line pulled from an actual filing, with a link back to the primary document. Not our paraphrase of what a company said, but the sentence it actually wrote into the record. A few that are live now:
- SpaceX telling the FCC a rival’s appeal “ignores the very purpose of a waiver.” →
- Starcloud asking to license a data center in orbit to train AI, running on “near-constant solar power, radiative cooling, and the ability to scale sizes and power levels not possible on earth.” →
- AST SpaceMobile on bringing its giant satellites down “in lieu of relying upon random tumbling as a last-resort contingency.” →
It runs on Orbit Sentinel, which is live and free to try
Every tidbit starts from a real filing surfaced through Orbit Sentinel, our space-regulatory data platform. Space Quotes is one small thing the data makes possible, and it’s running in production today.
You can build on the same data right now. Orbit Sentinel is self-service and free during beta. Go to console.viventine.com, sign in with your email, and mint an API key. No waitlist, no sales call. From there you can query the FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, and FAA-AST in plain English from Claude or any MCP client, over a REST API, or with semantic search.
Verified, not generated
None of it is invented, and that’s the whole point. Every tidbit’s claims come only from structured fields in the official record or text quoted directly from the primary document. Each draft is then checked against its sources by an independent pass that rejects anything the filing doesn’t support, the same discipline we wrote about in The Trust Problem. A tidbit that doesn’t pass doesn’t go up.
