NSF was founded by managing editor Chris Bergin, and is owned and operated by John "Das" Galloway. The NSF content is produced by a team of spaceflight reporters, journalists, contributors, editors, photographers, and videographers across the United States and other countries.[12]
NSF offers several tiers of paid membership through their YouTube channel, and either a recurring or lifetime "L2" membership on their website for exclusive photo galleries and access to certain sections of their forum.[13][14]
NSF also operates the Next Spaceflight website, which keeps track of spaceflight launches, launch pad locations, reusable vehicles, Starship hardware, and maintains a list of all orbital rockets. They also operate a mobile app for prelaunch notifications, launch timelines, and 3D flight simulations.[15][non-primary source needed]
