message: 01aug2009,  replaced 'brass' to 'depleted uranium' .  I am not sure this is correct.  You don't need uranium to get 400 kg from a 60 cm sphere.  It is true that this ref speaks of 'depleted uranium', but this one or this one tells it is brass.  Which is compatible with the weight and probably much easier to manufacture.

replies: text: Thanks, Xofc. I'll try to check up the fact (before your post I was shure that it's made of U).Makeyev (talk) 13:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: eg Can anyone confirm that LAGEOS results confirmed the Lense–Thirring precession to +/- 10% in 2004 as claimed by Gregs post in Gravity probe B results ? - Rod57 (talk) 10:26, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Should it be included?

message: Reading over this article, I was surprised at the paucity of information about who built these satellites, how they were launched and who operates them. Wikipedia articles on just about all other spacecraft have information about who manufactured them, and exact launch dates and information about launch equipment (i.e. what booster was used). Here we are told only that LAGEOS 1 and 2 were launched in 1976 and 1992, respectively, and that LAGEOS 2 was launched aboard STS-52. That appears to be it. I think at the least this article could be flagged for needing improvement (I do not know how to do that, as I am a bit of a newbie Wikipedia editor, but I have seen such flags appearing at the top of other articles).

replies: text: The article doesn't even mention that they are NASA satellites, and I would expect that information to be included in the introduction.--Pere prlpz (talk) 08:32, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on LAGEOS. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive {newarchive} to http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/QuickLooks/lageosQL.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

message: For balance, and also for the sake of completeness, there are two pieces of information missing with regards to LAGEOS-2:
* Does it also carry the time capsule plaque described for LAGEOS-1?
* What is its expected lifetime? Is it expected to remain in orbit as long as the first one? 136.159.160.122 (talk) 21:26, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
