Sentences with phrase «l1 lagrange»

Artist Statement «The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) orbits the sun at the L1 Lagrange point where the gravity of the Sun and Earth cancel each other out.

In a talk entitled, «A Future Mars Environment for Science and Exploration» given at the recent Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop in Washington DC, Green discussed a magnetic shield which would be launched into stable orbit between Mars and the sun at a position known as the Mars L1 Lagrange Point.

It is located near L1 Lagrange point in space and is studying the Sun.

I think it could be more than theoretically interesting, because — if political opinion reaches a «tipping point» — one obvious quick / dirty «fix» is to dump a lot of dust at the L1 Lagrange Point (where the SOHO satellite is now).

The spacecraft is designed to orbit at what's called the L1 Lagrange point — a position at which the satellite and Earth both orbit the sun at the same pace, keeping the spacecraft constantly sandwiched between the two bodies.
