Welcome to the Unmanned spaceflight task force. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of unmanned spaceflight and the organisation of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this task force will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please
Standardise and better organise content related to unmanned spaceflight
Expand and improve the articles within its scope
Create articles related to relevant topics that do not already exist
Scope
All articles relating to unmanned spaceflight are within the scope of this task force.
Articles relating to manned spaceflight are not within this project's scope, and are instead covered by the
Human spaceflight task force
Guidelines
This is currently just a suggestion, and is has not yet been accepted for use
Most articles should contain sections describing the spacecraft, its launch, its mission or operations, and its outcome.
Both SI and imperial units should be used, however SI units should always be given first.
All times should be in UTC, with local times in parentheses for ground events. UTC times should use the 24-hour clock, whilst local times should use either 12 or 24 hour clock depending on which is used in the applicable country)
Mission durations should be written in clear units (e.g. "1 day, 1 hour, 8 minutes", not "1 day 01:08" or "25:08")
Navboxes should be used to navigate between spacecraft related by series, bus, or other similarities.

Review and assessment
All articles that are within the scope of this task force should be tagged with the {{WikiProject Spaceflight}} banner. This allows all related task forces to use the same banner. The "unmanned" parameter of this template should be set to "yes" to show that this task force is interested in the article (e.g. {{WikiProject Spaceflight|class= |importance= |unmanned=yes|unmanned-importance= }} ). See template for detailed instructions.
This article is within the scope of WikiProject Spaceflight, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of spaceflight on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.SpaceflightWikipedia:WikiProject SpaceflightTemplate:WikiProject Spaceflightspaceflight articles
The quality ("class") of the article uses the main WikiProject Spaceflight assessment criteria. The importance of the article to this task force should be set using the "unmanned-importance" parameter of the template. Importance grades are:
Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field.
Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article.
