Merger[edit]

I have merged the article Pegasus (satellite) with this one, and converted it to a redirect. They were on one and the same topic. Deuar 19:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naming[edit]

There is some confusion over the names of the Pegasus spacecraft. Here we had Pegasus I, on the old, now merged, page Pegasus (satellite) they are called Pegasus 1, 2 and 3, while on the Apollo mission pages they are called Pegasus A, B, and C. Deuar 19:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Before launch NASA satellites are differentiated by letters, after launch by numbers. Thus, Peg A, B and C became Peg 1, 2, and 3.

MAN retired NASA engineer.

Thanks for clearing that up! Deuar 13:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

reference to "command off" dates[edit]

The Apollo A103, 104, and 105 pages all make references to when their Pegasus payloads were commanded "off". This information should be included alongside the decay dates. 147.145.40.43 22:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Series vs. constellation[edit]

@JustinTime55: satellites in a series are launched after the previous one retires while satellites forming a constellation operate simultaneously. thanks fgnievinski (talk) 01:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are mistaken. The definition of a satellite constellation is a group of satellites working together as a system, for the purpose of providing permanent global or near-global coverage, for communications or Earth observation. There is no requirement that says a satellite series cannot remain simultaneously active. The satellites were designed to investigate the space environment, not the Earth's surface, and were never referred to as a "constellation". JustinTime55 (talk) 01:40, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
