Satellite was never launched. Orphan page. No news since 2007. Apparently dead company. Only source quoted also casts doubts on project status. — JFG ^talk 20:45, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found a passing mention here, and that's it, but it says that the satellite exists even if it was not launched. Russian sources would likely be better.

One could argue for a permastub because (I assume) satellites are somewhat rare compared to the last software or gizmo on the market, as they are a larger order to manufacture, so they are all presumed to be more notable. Even then, I would like to see a RS demonstrating that it was a functional satellite - for all we know it could be a box of metal with a camera taped to it and completely improper to fly into space.

In any case, the claims about climate engineering are mostly WP:OR, so if kept we should stick with mention of the satellite. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 08:30, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as overall still nothing to suggest it was then or now independently notable, there's nothing convincing at all. SwisterTwister talk 07:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
