Merger proposal

(I'm abbreviating, but the actual article names are the spelled out versions.)

A TDRS is a satellite of the TDRSS overall system. I think we should move TDRS into the TDRSS article because there is lots of duplicated material in the TDRS/TDRSS articles. It would make the pages more elegant if they were combined, and I believe the master page should be the system TDRSS.

  • At this point, "TDRSS" is actually an archaic term. The Space Network consists of the TDRS satellites, supporting TDRS ground terminal systems, plus BRTS, MILA, and NCCDS. Really, a slight re-work should be done. Recommend using the Space Network article as a baseline, which uses currently accepted nomenclature (e.g. no references to "TDRSS", and uses "NEN" instead of "GN"), and pulling in pertinent sections of the TDRSS article. The TDRS (not TDRSS) article should stand by itself (with some editing) as it describes the Flight Segment of the Space Network. I may undertake this task. -- Geĸrίtzl (talk) 01:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
