Okay, what would you really name a first satellite?

...without crude jokes.

 

[Alfastar]

lets say first: What for type satellite is it?

Second: Whats the mission?

Third: What for name we go use?

The same as all first satellites. Tech demonstration/ communications.

(And I already used HATSUNE, as seen on the last page)

DECORS (DEmonstration Commutation ORbital Satellite).

Its better then JUICE

Surely we could be more... mature?*

*(I admit, I am not very mature)

 

[Urwumpe]

So, "Polar Electron & Neutron Inventory Satellite" is not OK?*

* You are only as old as you feel.

I think you don't must shorten the mission name. :lol:

Now that you mention it, shortening the mission name would be really cruel. :rofl:

What about NASAs next big manned space program, the Geostationary Observation Platform. I can see political support there.

PR-1, for Palette-Recherche (Research Palette.)

In english, Explorer-1 seems obvious. Not very original, but hey, it makes plain sense.

In russian, Sputnik-1 is obvious too, as it means "Satellite 1".

I'm not a big fan of acronyms myself. I dealt with them when I worked aircraft maintenance, and I deal with them now in nuclear...
Sure, it helps you to remember things, and there are times when it helps to shorten somethings noun name, but when our management came up with "fast action response team" I got a whole lot of evil stares when I spewed Dr. Pepper all over my workstation.

They didn't get it... Seriously, they never caught on to what was so funny. And once I explained it, the manager who was "responsible" for the name got furious with me.

 

[Urwumpe]

Our humor here is better, I would say. My team is called APS, because we program apps.

Sadly, we failed getting the second P.

In my world, my satellite would be the Nautical/Yachting Assistant Nodule, sharing payload space with the Cepheid Astronomical Telescope.

Ahem...

In reality? Hmmm... the Schweiger Satellite sounds pretty good...

Then that means the Space Shuttle is Nazi?
