BZZZZT! Wrong! But you came close :-) Station keeping in these orbits is much more important than in regular freefall orbits, because the domain of stability is not very large. For a good story about this, read about the (truly amazing!) recovery of the SOHO solar observatory, which is located in such a point. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
