There were recently pages on both "space observatory" and "space telescope." I merged the two. Should the result be placed here, or at space telescope? --zandperl 23:13, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I wonder if perhaps "space telescope" might be more often searched for? By the way, the article needs links to Ginga, Asca, IRTS, ASTRO-E2 (Suzaku), Exosat, Cos-B, Integral, Gaia, Darwin, FIRM, perhaps COBE, WMAP and Planck, possibly some early Japanese missions (Tenma, Hinotori), and probably a few others. It's on my list of things to do but if anyone else would like to volunteer it would be very welcome.--Serjeant 10:18, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] numerous major observatories missing

There seems to be an undue prominence placed on the NASA great observatories, while other comparable telescopes (e.g. INTEGRAL, XMM-Newton, WMAP, ... ) are not even mentioned in the "other notable space observatories" section which seems to be a rundown of only all the decommissioned ones.
