Merger proposal

• At this point, "TDRSS" is actually an archaic term. 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

• I agree with the merger proposal. I think there is a fair amount of redundancy, and the satellites and system can be described sufficiently in a single article. TrufflesTheLamb (talk) 01:10, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• I oppose merging the pages. I think that the TDRSS article should deal specifically with the system itself, and the TDRS article should deal specifically with the technical details of the satellites. --

• I agree with GW. This article is about satellites themselves, not the whole system. I think the TDRS article could use some expanding and updating, but overall I don't think it should be merged.--Navy blue84 (talk) 15:17, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the claim that TDRSS is analogous to Space Network. TDRSS is a part of the overall Space Network which includes ground stations as well.--RadioFan (talk) 21:14, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I added a picture of the satellite hanging at the Udvar-Hazey Center, despite it being an unflown part of the constellation. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 05:34, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
