[edit] Disclosure

The original author of this page, Teridon, works for the SDO project. Some of the information this page is not publically published; it comes from internal (though not private) documentation. Therefore Wikipedia's standard for verifiability may not be met at this point. For example, the SDO mission website has not been revised recently, and does not reflect the latest orbit information (currently, the website shows that the orbit has not been decided). Some of the information currently on this Wikipedia page is currently published on the SDO mission website, and I think it therefore meets the standard. Should the information which does not meet the standard be removed from the page? -Teridon 19:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orbit

How are the orbit characteristics chosen? How does it provide, as I have heard, eclipse-free operation? Cheers, Matt Whyndham (talk) 10:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
