AEON / SPACE is an editorial Astro template built around a simple idea: a space brand should feel larger than a landing page. Missions, discoveries, launch schedules and technical reports are all backed by structured content that powers both the home page and its own archive and detail routes.
✨ Features
- 🎬 Cinematic home page — full-bleed hero, animated star field, orbital rings and angled desktop navigation
- 🛰️ Five content collections — missions, reports, departures, news and standalone pages
- 🔒 Type-safe content — every Markdown entry validated against a Zod schema before the build succeeds
- ⏱️ Live launch countdown — reads the departure date and time from frontmatter and updates once per second
- 📊 Animated statistics — agency metrics animate when the section enters the viewport
- 🌗 Designed light and dark themes — not an inverted afterthought; separate tokens, overlays and brand assets
- ⚛️ Focused React islands — React 19 only where browser state helps, the rest stays static HTML
- 🎞️ Framer Motion 12 — hero entrances, section reveals and hover states that respect
prefers-reduced-motion - 📱 Responsive by design — angled desktop nav collapses to an animated mobile menu
🧱 Stack
Astro 6, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, Framer Motion 12, TypeScript and Astro Content Collections. Images are processed with Sharp at build time.
🚀 Deployment
The default build produces a platform-neutral static site. Dedicated build:vercel and build:cloudflare targets load an adapter only for the requested platform, so the standard build never becomes coupled to a host.
🎨 Rebranding
Customization is concentrated in four places: brand assets in public/brand/, design tokens in src/styles/global.css, site metadata in src/data/site.ts, and the Markdown in src/content/. Agency-specific content is not scattered across dozens of components.
