Talk:Euclid (spacecraft)

Location not specific.
Article box has "Location  Lagrangian point L2".

Every orbiting body possesses an L2 point, somewhat further out from its primary. In principle, it is necessary and sufficient, in order to specify any of L1 to L5, to name the orbiting body. In practice, it is wise to name the primary and secondary bodies, preferably in that order. It should say Sun-Earth L2. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 13:51, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Style in Euclid_(spacecraft)
Towards the end, this section reads more and more like it was written by the ESA PR department, the style reminding strongly of NASA PR. Learn from the best, I say, but it´s still unecyclopedic. --Maxus96 (talk) 21:56, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Things to add
Things to add/explain :
 * can the two instruments be used at the same time (on the same target) ?
 * what was the benefit of putting both instruments on the same spacecraft ?
 * how does it compare to existing space based instruments and those on JWST or WFIRST ?
 * what filters and grisms does each instrument have ?

 * The refenced on board memory is specified as at least 300 Gb, where reference [22] specifies 2.3 Tb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.238.184.128 (talk) 14:00, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Lissajous orbit?
The orbit of this spacecraft seems to be a Halo orbit, not a Lissajous orbit according to the animations.―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 11:04, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Italicizing Euclid
Should Euclid be italicized to Euclid throughout this article following the convention of other ESA Space Telescopes like Gaia and Hipparcos and other named spacecraft like those used for manned spacecraft (Endeavour, Eagle, etc), and space probes like Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, or should it be left in a normal typeface following the convention of other unmanned scientific spacecraft such as Terra, Aqua, and most numbered spacecraft such as the Landsat and Explorer satellites?

Actually, I asked on the discord and someone there pointed me to MOS:NAT, and that page along with WikiProject_Spaceflight/Style_guide clarify that Euclid, like other proper nouns and spacecraft names (not mission or program names) should be italicized. So by those guidelines, I'll change the article to follow those shortly. SpacePod9 (talk) 00:02, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * , since Euclid is a space telescope and not a spacecraft, it probably should not be italicized (and the name changed to something like Euclid (space telescope)). This would be in keeping with the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, etc. Thanks. I'll alert the spaceflight Wikiproject, where others may have an opinion.
