In 2004, SS/L announced a joint venture with S.P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to manufacture and market small satellites [[1], [2] (in Russian))]. As of January 2006, no sales of the joint product have been announced.

It was deleted without explanation both times. The second editor used a Loral-owned IP address. —Fleminra 22:39, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Not sure why this text is being deleted - there are at least 2 Yamal spacecraft launched and on-orbit, which utilize Korolev buses and SS/L provided payload packages. I believe the Yamal is what is being referred to in this sentence. Also deleted in this last edit was a reference to the ISS batteries, for some reason. Saturn V 23:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

The Yamal-101/102 were ca. 1999, so this was a separate deal. It's hard to find English-language references for the 2004 deal for some reason. —Fleminra 00:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Loral to Set Russian Satellite Effort
Likely Effort With Energia Aims for Smaller Models That Are Low Powered
… The novel move to team up with space pioneer S.P. Korolev RSC Energia is intended to boost interest in the low end of the satellite market, for low-powered, smaller satellites designed for commercial communications. …

3-Axis spin stabilized satellite ???

Three-axis spin stabilized satellite is an oxymoron. A satellite is either 3-axis stabilized, or Spin-stabilized, but not both. Also, the first 3-axis stabilized communication satellite was built by Fairchild, under contract from NASA: ATS6, and the second and third were the franco-german built Symphonies.Smteacsm1 (talk) 15:18, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

JSC Information Satellite Systems as a competitor?

At February 20, 2018 21:38, User:Hebrewulf added a supposed reference for JSC Information Satellite Systems being a competitor of SSL. The text at that reference is:

SSL’s competitors were Boeing Satellite Systems, Lockheed Martin, Thales Alenia Space (French), Airbus Defense and Space (French) and JSC Information Satellite Systems (i.e.NPO PM-Russian)

The text in this wiki article is:

SSL’s major competitors are Boeing Satellite Systems, Lockheed Martin, Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defence and Space and JSC Information Satellite Systems.

These sentences are so similar that one might guess that the latter was just copied from the former. Is gmcstream.com a credible source? 52.119.126.205 (talk) 06:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
