== Solrad vs. Grab ==

Line 8 ⟶ 16:

The official name of this program is the Explorers Program (with an s). The title of this page needs to be changed.

: {{done}} That's more of a requested move than a requested edit, but easy to fix either way. Thanks! --[[User:Joe Decker|j⚛e decker]][[User talk:Joe Decker|^{<small><i>talk</i></small>}]] 18:11, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

== Mission endings section: necessary? ==

Is the "Mission endings" section necessary? It lists the years of recent mission conclusions, which can already be determined from the main list, and it arbitrarily starts at 2009 for no reason whatsoever. I believe it should be removed for not contributing anything new to the article.

:I tried to improve that section, but I don't know if its any better. I made the main table sortable but it did not put the dates in order of ending. Sometimes I try to update this article with missing information but the Explorers program is so large (in terms of missions) it can be overwhelming.

== Merger proposal ==

A casual editor proposed the merger in July, but did not complete the steps required, so I'll complete the red tape.

The difference between the 2 articles is only an introductory paragraph, so the merger makes sense to me. The lists of Medium-Class Explorers (MIDEX) and University-Class Explorers (UNEX) do not have separate articles, and are currently unlikely to be forked in the future.

== should we add ASTRO-E to the list of launches ==

ASTRO-E was the original satellite before the ASTRO-E2, but it exploded. so, should we add it to the list? [[User:Advocate marshallow|Advocate marshallow]] ([[User talk:Advocate marshallow|talk]]) 02:01, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

:Yes, I think we should. [[User:4throck|4throck]] ([[User talk:4throck|talk]]) 23:24, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
