Talk:US-A

RTGs
The article on Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (rtgs) mentions that 2 rorsats had problems that caused their reactor to deorbit. One is obviously Cosmos 954, but what's the other one? Anyone know? Whe should find this out and add it here, and some of the content on the RTG page should be migrated here. -Lommer 18:51, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * The RTGs article was incorrect because RORSATS did not use RTGs. I have corrected the article and expanded this one. Bobbis 23:23, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Other concerns
Reference is made to 'BUK' reactors. What are they? LorenzoB 18:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Bouk were a reactor type manufactured by Krasnaya Zvezda for space operations, along with Topaz mentioned elsewhere in the article. I do not know whether or where they flew. 79.65.134.227 (talk) 22:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)


 * What is the total number of RORSATs deployed? LorenzoB 18:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed, the article does not seem to say, and would be improved if it had this detail known and sourced? I wonder if the Russian government has ever released this info from this Soviet program?  or if the US CIA or USAF programs that track satellites ever publically released such numbers?

Article name
If the satellites are named Upravlyaemy Sputnik Aktivnyj, why is the Wikipedia article named with an esoteric acronym "US-A"?

Seems that, per WP:COMMONNAME, the article ought not to be named the unrecognizable "US-A", and just be named Upravlyaemy Sputnik Aktivnyj or whatever name it is referred to in English in ordinary human use. N2e (talk) 12:56, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
