The page NASA's 2022 satellite is a duplicate of the same subject. Needs a merge. BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:05, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

• MERGE - Yes, a merge of the duplicated articles seems indicated imo - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 15:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Per WP:Merging: "If the proposal is obvious (e.g., the mistaken creation of a second page for the same subject under a slightly different name), then a discussion need not even be held." Therefore, I will next merge all usable information and references and close this. BatteryIncluded (talk) 16:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Hall effect versus Kaufman thruster

The current article says the mission would use a NEXT-C thruster, but also says it would use a Hall effect thruster. The NSTAR/NEXT line are Kaufman not Hall effect thrusters. Should this be corrected?

Yes, the contracts to develop the concepts call for ion thrusters but they are not specified to be a specific brand. Corrected the article accordingly. Thanks, BatteryIncluded (talk) 02:50, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Funding year by year

Can we add each years funding for this mission so we can see how much it is being supported ? Did/Does GAO report on this mission ? - Rod57 (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
