Finding NEO
...-based survey, Near-Earth Object Camera (NEOCam), would use a 0.5-metre telescope orbiting at the Sun–Earth L1 Lagrange point (about 0.01 AU from Earth towards the Sun). During a five-year baseline mission, it would aim to discover about...

Spaceflight and the radiation problem
... spec demanded a radiation dose of close to that experienced at sea level on Earth. The colony was intended to be placed at a Lagrange Point, far beyond the Van Allen belts, and shielding was to be achieved using just under two metres...

LISA Pathfinder set for liftoff
...as possible in order to conduct its experiments. Accordingly LISA Pathfinder is heading for an orbit around the L1 Lagrange point, a gravitationally-stable location 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometres), from Earth in a sunward direction. Once there...
