Elektron (satellite program)
... that the 1964 Elektron satellites, launched in pairs to simultaneously measure the upper and lower Van Allen Belts, marked the first time multiple satellites were launched on a single Soviet rocket?Source: [url=https://archive.org/details/scientificsatell00corl/page/711-3/mode/2up]
Created/expanded by Neopeius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:08, 14 May 2020 (UTC).
The article was promoted to GA status the day before the nomination, no close paraphrasing was found, and the hook is cited inline (assuming good faith as it is an offline source). The article otherwise meets other DYK article criteria. As a space buff I find the hook to be interesting, but I would welcome any second opinions from other editors who are less familiar with the topic. The nominator has only two prior nominations so no QPQ is needed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:38, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review! I can probably just get rid of that source, actually -- that information is also in SP-133, which is online (and it was what I used as the source for the DYK). --Neopeius (talk) 13:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Did just that. No good faith need be assumed! --Neopeius (talk) 14:02, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook wording is rather repetitive (satellites...satellites...launched...launched). Yoninah (talk) 14:26, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- How about ALT1: ... that the 1964 Elektron satellites, launched in pairs to simultaneously measure the upper and lower Van Allen Belts, marked the first time multiple satellites were orbited on a single Soviet rocket?

- I think double occurrence of satellites in separate clauses is okay. If you have suggestions, I'm all ears. Yoninah --Neopeius (talk) 14:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Neopeius: thank you. Now there's just the matter of adding an inline cite to the article where the first hook fact appears (I tagged it for you). Yoninah (talk) 18:22, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah I'm afraid I haven't a clue how to do that. Can you put it in so I have an example for next time? --Neopeius (talk) 19:28, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Neopeius: it's just a citation. You have one at the end of many other sentences. Is the citation the same as the one at the top of this template? Yoninah (talk) 19:30, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, of course. The citation didn't change just because we changed launched to orbited. :) Yoninah --Neopeius (talk) 20:41, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
OK, see what I did so you can do it too when asked in future. The hook fact is on p. 711. Restoring tick for verified fact per Narutolovehinata5's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
