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)
The article says Chandra has a resolution 1000 times better than the earliest x-ray telescope. However, according to NASA at [1], 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)
Anyone have anything more specific on this story? Or do we all just have to wait a week... Hiberniantears ( talk) 18:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

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.

> Chandra is sensitive to X-ray sources 100 times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope, enabled by the high angular resolution of its mirrors.
Sounds intersting. What means the "angular resolution of mirrors?" I wouldn't mind a little technical talk. 75.110.100.120 ( talk) 15:06, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
[2] says "designed for serving at 5 year intervals" - Rod57 ( talk) 22:44, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
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)

Thank you to all of you have worked diligently on this entry. I am just a user of Wikipedia, nothing more. Virtually every day I find myself reading articles just because I like to learn and know things. There are things in this entry that I have explore to get a sense of what the full article is telling me. Thank you to all of you who take time to allow so may others to enjoy Wikipedia.
