Talk:Zero-drag satellite

Something should be said about 'errors'/'noise' in this design. For instance, if the shell is not 100% reflective, light/heat must be able to penetrate it and thus disturb the mass inside it. --109.56.32.253 (talk) 09:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 22:01, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Should these be called simulated zero-drag satellites?
It appears these are not true zero-drag devices but instead attempt to actively simulate a zero-drag device by both attempting to measure the device's drag and then using thrusters to compensate for its drag. We are also dealing with an unfortunate circumstance on Wikipedia in that the drag (physics) article needs work to bring it up to WP standards. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 18:49, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
