| | | | | There are five sweet spots where a spacecraft can keep pace with Earth as both orbit the Sun. They are called the Lagrange points, after the brilliant French mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange who found special solutions to what is called the "three-body problem". To locate the second Lagrange point, L2, draw a line 150 million km... | |

| | | A first-of-its-kind camera developed in partnership between CU Boulder and Ball Aerospace will soon be landing on the moon. NASA announced today that it has selected a scientific instrument, called the Lunar Compact Infrared Imaging System (L-CIRiS), for its Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. The camera will ride along with one of three robotic landers that will touch down on the lunar surface in the next several years-a key step in NASA's goal of sending people back to the moon by 2024. LASP planetary scientist Paul Hayne, who is leading the development of the instrument, said that the goal is to collect better maps of the lunar surface to understand how it formed and its geologic history. L-CIRiS will use infrared technology to map the temperatures of the shadows and boulders that dot the lunar surface in greater detail than any images to date. | ||
