[edit] Merger

I have merged the article Pegasus (satellite) with this one, and converted it to a redirect. They were on one and the same topic. Deuar 19:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Naming

There is some confusion over the names of the Pegasus spacecraft. Here we had Pegasus I, on the old, now merged, page Pegasus (satellite) they are called Pegasus 1, 2 and 3, while on the Apollo mission pages they are called Pegasus A, B, and C. Deuar 19:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Before launch NASA satellites are differentiated by letters, after launch by numbers. Thus, Peg A, B and C became Peg 1, 2, and 3.

Thanks for clearing that up! Deuar 13:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reference to "command off" dates

The Apollo A103, 104, and 105 pages all make references to when their Pegasus payloads were commanded "off". This information should be included alongside the decay dates. 147.145.40.43 22:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
