Know exactly
what the signal means.

One public digital placement attached to a named body in Space Pixel. Your approved organization name, tagline, message and destination appear as its current signal. This is paid sponsorship within this website, not ownership of a planet, scientific naming rights, a NASA partnership, or an investment.

The first approved sponsor pays the listed opening price. After activation, the next approved sponsor pays exactly twice the current recorded price. No custom bid replaces that amount. For example, a $1,000 opening sponsorship is followed by $2,000, then $4,000. The current sponsor receives none of the successor’s payment.

The selected world’s card puts Current sponsorship first, with your approved public signal and a clearly labeled destination link. Visitors can open the full science dossier separately. A sponsorship is not an endorsement by the scientific sources credited in the dossier.

After your 90-day protected period, a reviewed successor can pay exactly double. When verified payment activates their signal, your approved listing, acquisition price and dates move to Previous Sponsors on the same body. You receive no payout, royalty, share of the next payment or refund due to succession. Your chapter stays in the history for the platform’s operating life.

Your activated sponsorship receives 90 protected days as the current signal. Successor requests open only after those 90 days. You remain current until an approved successor pays exactly double and activates; that successor receives a fresh 90 protected days. Previous sponsors remain in the public history for the operating life of Space Pixel, subject to content and legal policies. There is no recurring charge or automatic expiry at day 90.

Choose a body in the catalog or Our Universe and select Request sponsorship. Submit your organization, contact email, destination, tagline and message. Logan reviews the request first. If approved, you receive an email with a private agreement and payment link. Submitting a request is free and does not reserve the body. You can follow progress through your private status link.

A checkout success page alone is not proof of activation. Space Pixel must verify the cleared payment and record the sponsorship. Verified payment activates an eligible approved signal and begins a fresh 90-day protected period. Keep the private application link to check status or contact support with your reference.

Yes. Fulfilled sponsorship sales are final: no change-of-mind refunds, no performance-based refunds, and no refund when a later sponsor takes the signal. Duplicate or unauthorized charges, failure to provide the agreed placement, processing errors, and rights that cannot legally be waived are handled under the Refund and cancellation policy. Read the full terms before agreeing or paying.

One verified organization, business or project may hold one active sponsorship. Earlier historical listings do not count as active placements. Applications and destinations are moderated before payment.

The available catalog has 101 bodies across 13 systems: 17 stars, 48 planets, five dwarf planets and 31 selected moons. The catalog and Our Universe use the same body identities and visual materials. The Solar System’s full moon, asteroid and comet populations are not included in this release.

No. The nearby planet inventory follows the recorded NASA Exoplanet Archive snapshot identified in the sources; discoveries and classifications can change. The Solar System moons are a curated selection. Decorative asteroid particles, distant black holes, Totality and fictional space whales are scenery, not additional sponsorship listings. The Inventory coverage page documents the wider audit.

Each available body has its recorded scientific facts, source and visual boundaries, place in its system, and links to related catalog bodies. Measurements that are unavailable in the source snapshot remain identified as unknown; a rendered surface is not evidence of its real conditions.

Earth, Mars and Jupiter use credited source mosaics. Most other surfaces and the animated stellar effects are artistic interpretations. Sizes, positions, paths and distances are compressed for navigation. Exoplanet colors and terrain do not establish habitability or observed surface conditions.

Balanced detail is the default. Close the Destinations panel for more viewing space, pause motion when reading, and open Full dossier only when needed. High detail costs more graphics work. Loading source images and preparing the 3D scene can take a moment on a first visit.

Forge Universe is a separate preview with one sun and no available sponsorship inventory. Additional systems and collections will appear only after their identities, content and sponsorship status are ready.

Approved sponsor names, destinations, taglines, messages, acquisition prices and sponsorship dates appear in the current signal or history. Contact details and private application-management links are not public listings. Stripe handles card entry on its hosted checkout. See Privacy for the full data policy.
