message: Mission Length:?
Why is the mission Length so Short?  It is my understanding that the telescope is still operating.  Did the initial 4 days have a cooled detector for calibration that is no longer present?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.4.36 (talk) 17:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says Chandra has a resolution 1000 times better than the earliest x-ray telescope.  However, according to NASA at , it has a resolution 8 times better.   This might need to be changed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.161.155.70 (talk • contribs) 01:59, March 10, 2007  (UTC)
: The NASA ref says "It has eight-times greater resolution and is able to detect sources more than 20-times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope." rather than the earliest so there's no conflict. Just need to add which was the earliest and which was the best prior to 1999. - Rod57 (talk) 14:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

message: I've proposed that this article be included in a trial involving using a bot to update orbital elements automatically on a fortnightly basis. I've started a discussion at WikiProject Spaceflight regarding this article and nine others, and would welcome some input from the users involved in maintaining the pages in question. --W. D. Graham 20:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Can we say how many pixels across the CCD sensor and the microchannel plate are ? And how is the high time-resolution of the microchannel plate useful ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:10, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  What images possible ? 

message: * How fast and often does it reorient to new targets ?
* What proportion of time spent using the 2 sensors and and either spectrometer ?
* What components have failed or degraded ?
* How fast is the on-board propellant being used ?
** How much for orbital maintenance, and how much to unwind the reaction wheels ?
