Alternate Name
This region has also been referred to in press reports as the "South Pacific Ocean Uninhabited Area" or SPOUA (notably this 2015 article on Gizmodo.com: http://gizmodo.com/this-watery-graveyard-holds-161-sunken-spaceships-1703212211 ), and by European Space Agency debris specialist Holger Krag in an audio interview in 2013 ( http://blogs.esa.int/atv/2013/10/30/making-sure-atv-reentry-is-safe/ ). Suggest adding the alternate name to the article, or adding a redirect if it can be documented that South Pacific Ocean Uninhabited Area is in official widespread use by the world's space agencies to refer to this area of Earth.

Blog reference
Really? A blogspot reference for the Progress spacecraft ditching? If there's no objection I'll remove the reference. 203.94.174.142 (talk) 05:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Upsweep - coincidence?
Is there a reason Upsweep seems to be perfectly lined up with this graveyard? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.219.2 (talk) 02:49, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

How much debris is hitting the surface?
It's unclear how much debris is reaching surface rather than burning up during reentry. How about some clarification about that?Arctic Gazelle (talk) 16:44, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
