Talk:GEOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page's former discussion on GEOS was moved to the talk pages for the two articles spun off from the original one: Talk:GEOS (8-bit operating system) and Talk:GEOS (16-bit operating system).

Any ideas about this use of the name: "The Giotto mission spacecraft was derived from the GEOS research satellite built by British Aerospace..."

Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite spells GOES, not GEOS. The two originals were called "Goes East" and "Goes West", if I recall. Perhaps calling them GEOS is a common mistake? I'll be removing this link, since a link at GOES already does exist. --Mdwyer 17:28, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
