Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge; the need for a merge is obvious, as it is a duplicate of the subject. -BatteryIncluded (talk) 16:57, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The page NASA's 2022 satellite is a duplicate of the same subject. Needs a merge. BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:05, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

MERGE - Yes, a merge of the duplicated articles seems indicated imo - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 15:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:Merging: "If the proposal is obvious (e.g., the mistaken creation of a second page for the same subject under a slightly different name), then a discussion need not even be held." Therefore, I will next merge all usable information and references and close this. BatteryIncluded (talk) 16:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Hall effect versus Kaufman thruster[edit]

The current article says the mission would use a NEXT-C thruster, but also says it would use a Hall effect thruster. The NSTAR/NEXT line are Kaufman not Hall effect thrusters. Should this be corrected?

Fcrary (talk) 21:33, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the contracts to develop the concepts call for ion thrusters but they are not specified to be a specific brand. Corrected the article accordingly. Thanks, BatteryIncluded (talk) 02:50, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Funding year by year[edit]

Can we add each years funding for this mission so we can see how much it is being supported ? Did/Does GAO report on this mission ? - Rod57 (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
