Talk:CryoSat-2

Merger proposal
I cannot see any difference between the Cryostat program and the Cryostat-2 orbiter. When the mission was launched by ESA, the planned orbiter was just called CryoSat, the -1 prefix was only applied when the initial launch had failed. CryoSat-2 is largely equivalent, with only some minor updates. The contents describing the scientific background of the mission in both articles are overlapping, even the instruments are covered twice. I was also thinking about merging CryoSat-1 as well, but I fear this one has to be kept as independent article (mostly due to its infobox). Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 11:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose - Regardless of its current content, the programme article should cover the background, brief details on both satellites, and a detailed description of the scientific results of the programme, whilst the individual satellite articles should cover the specific technical details of the spacecraft and their missions, concentrating on the spacecraft themselves, much like this one does at the moment. Both spacecraft are individually notable. -- G W … 15:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment (to make my point clearer): Well, I just could not find any reference that there still is something like the CryoSat program at all. To my knowledge, the whole project was renamed CryoSat-2 when the initial mission failed (which was dubbed CryoSat-1 only afterwards). Therefore, it is confusing to have three articles, because two would be sufficient: CryoSat=CryoSat-1 and CryoSat-2. Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 16:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
 * merge - It appears there was never intended to be more than one Cryosat, so it does seem odd to have an article for the program as well as the satellite. It's like having an article for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter program, as well as an article for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. It makes more sense to put the program information in the satellite's article; the failed CryoSat-1 is linked in the "background" section, which seems sufficient.
