Semi-protected edit request on 18 February 2025
Template:Edit semi-protected Under Government landings, "Six government space agencies, Interkosmos, NASA, CNSA, ISRO, JAXA and ESA,"
ISRO should Be changed to DOS (Department of Space), as the ISRO is only a branch of the DOS, as the government of India brought ISRO under DOS in September 1972.

Gravity well incorrect?
This statement in the article:
"To get to the Moon, a spacecraft must first leave Earth's gravity well"
According to Wikipedia's entry for gravity well it is defined as the "sphere of influence (SOI) in astrodynamics and astronomy is the oblate spheroid-shaped region where a particular celestial body exerts the main gravitational influence on an orbiting object."
If the Earth's moon were outside of its gravity well then the moon wouldn't be in orbit around the Earth. The SOI of Earth is listed as 577,254 miles yet the moon's average distance from Earth is 238,854 miles. If I don't hear of any substantial arguments against me changing this article then I will do so. Linktex (talk) 12:30, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- You've definitely got something there. Problem is I'm not sure what the wording is that will fix it, but the current is definitely wrong. Something about moving to the Moon's sphere of gravitation influence. There has got to be terminology on this but I can't recall it right now. Canterbury Tail talk 14:27, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
