Talk:Balloon satellite


 * I will try to re-translate/humanise this article in the next days. I noticed there is already an article about Echo 1 which covers some parts mentioned in here too. I'm a native German speaker but not native English. Everybody is welcome to assist. --Warden 6 July 2005 04:39 (UTC)


 * I think this article needs not only a retranslation but a restructuring . I started by adding a table of all balloon satellites I could find a reference to. I think this article should focus on the general balloon-satellite-technology. Information about Echo should be merged into this satellite's article. The text about PAGEOS covers too much non-balloon-satellite-related work. --Warden 01:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't get it. [This makes sense to me as a "balloon satellite". Why does any other kind need gas? Surely it gets fired into space and is placed in a stable orbit, and that's it? Also, the Pageos thing makes no sense (and I checked the German; it's equally mysterious as to what on Earth - excuse the pun - it is.) [[User:Rd232|Rd232]] 15:29, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Did a rewrite to clarify various points of the translation.  The article still needs a math/physics expert to provide the right math terminology for "(Kugelfunktionsentwicklung bis Grad und Ordnung 12–15)".   It's something to do with spherical harmonics.   Chonak 07:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Balloon satellites are the "only" satellites that exist
I have tried to find a real photograph of any satellite in outer space and I have failed. So then I googled the very first artificial "satellite" and found Echo projects. Now I believe that these are the only satellites that exist because there is no proof of orbitting satellites in "space." Any evidence regarding presence of "orbitting space" satellites is welcomed. Please share your thoughts. 119.159.196.61 (talk) 01:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
