Timezones: would it not make more sense for the section about New Zealand to have times in the NZ local timezone? (Perhaps in addition to the GMT times).BevanFindlay22:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The section of the article discussing this outage seems to be a collection of theories based on media reports during the first 18 hours or so of the incident. It gives a blow-by-blow account of the initial reporting of the outage and reported reaction to the outage, rather than a simple considered overview of what happened, in encylopedic style.
Some of the claims in this section run at odds with Optus' formal media release[1], which claims that "Optus maintained contact with the satellite throughout the outage."
It seems to me that the writing style and size of this section of the article is out of proportion with the incident. I will tag it with a needs-updating cleanup tag as I see this as being the primary problem (that this section was written on-the-fly and never updated with the benefit of hindsight).Rob.au15:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although partly timed by higher than expected demand for services on Optus C1, the initial D-series satellites (D1 and D2) havealways been intended to replace the aging B-series satellites (B1 and B3).[4][5] --Rob.au11:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A3 has been in service for over 20 years. It is virtually impossible to de-orbit a fully fuelled satellite from GSO, let alone one which has virtually empty tanks, so the claim that A3 has been deorbited is clearly false. It has probably been moved to agraveyard orbit. I have removed the claim, and I will look to see if it has been moved. --GW_SimulationsUser Page |Talk10:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain how it benefits the article to have removed the information regarding the D3 satellite sharing a launcher withJCSAT-12? Having this information in the article is a great way to give readers an intuitive understanding of the sizes of these satellites, i.e. the two together can be lifted by the same type of launch vehicle that liftedTerreStar-1 (the largest commercial commsat ever orbited).
