Lagrange points are gravitationally balanced locations where spacecraft can perform their missions.

"For example, we have no observations from Sun-Mars Lagrange Point 1, or from the far side of the sun from Earth — as well as a lack of tailored models to accurately predict solar inputs into ...

Before we colonize Mars or deep space, we need to master cislunar space! This episode dives into the National Space Society’s roadmap for space expansion, focusing on the Lagrange points ...

The only spacecraft planned to be positioned at one of these points is ESA’s Vigil, which is scheduled to launch by 2031 and will be at L5. Contour plot of the Earth-Moon Lagrange points.

Communicating with far-off Mars is hard, but new satellite arrangements could make things easier for future missions.

Normally, the far side of the sun remains hidden from us and our space telescopes, which are positioned in orbit around Earth or at our planet's Lagrange points, where objects can be permanently ...

Imagine the cosmos as a grand stage where celestial bodies engage in an intricate dance. Among the performers are the Lagrange Points – cosmic positions shaped by the gravitational interplay ...

The paper analyzes two approaches to injecting space dust. The first involves firing dust (things like salt or coal) from Earth to a way station at Lagrange Point 1 (L1).

Astronomers have also found four Trojans at Lagrange points around Mars and eight Trojans in the L4 and the L5 points around Neptune. One of Saturn’s larger moons, Tethys, even has two moonlets ...

There are significant observational gaps in current space weather prediction models for Mars, particularly due to the lack of data from critical points like the Sun-Mars Lagrange Point 1.

"For example, we have no observations from Sun-Mars Lagrange Point 1, or from the far side of the sun from Earth — as well as a lack of tailored models to accurately predict solar inputs into ...
