The spacecraft is commonly referred to as Spektr-RG (sometimes omitting the hyphen) in English communications from Russia, while Spectrum-X-Gamma (sometimes omitting the first hyphen) makes more seems to be preferred in English-speaking countries. Should the article be moved to Spektr-RG, or will a redirect do? -- Hosszuka (talk) 13:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be merged to Spectrum-X-Gamma — Preceding unsigned comment added by El Roih (talk • contribs) 17:39, 27 August 2011‎

I've reversed the direction of the April 2013 merger to make the page title Spektr-RG instead of Spectrum-X-Gamma. Spektr-RG seems to be the most commonly used name for this spacecraft, it is consistent with other articles (cf Spektr-R) and the general practise of transliterating, not translating, spacecraft names. Since neither page had been edited since the merger (and thus there was no additional page history to transfer), I just used cut-and-paste to effect it. --W. D. Graham 21:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They've changed the intended orbit from LEO to L2 forcing the Germans to spend another $5m on radiation hardening equipment. WatcherZero (talk) 18:04, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article currently says : "The first three months of the flight will deliver the spacecraft to the L2 Lagrangian point.". But which L2? Sun-Earth L2 or Earth-Moon L2 (or another)? Opinions on various respectable Web pages differ about this point.

One even says "After its launch, the Spektr-RG observatory will be placed at the L2 Lagrange point of the Sun-Earth system. The Lagrange point is an orbital location where gravitational forces of the Earth and the Moon balance out the centrifugal force of a smaller spacecraft, thereby helping it stabilise in space."
