... It was designed to observe the solar wind approaching Earth, from a position near the Lagrangian point L1, and it is part of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Initiative . ... The original plan called for "Wind" to approach its final station over two years, undergoing two close encounters with the Moon to boost its speed. ... If however the object is moving , the encounter is not symmetric, and in the end the spacecraft may have gained or lost speed, depending on its trajectory. ...

... POLYNOM MAP NO | POLYNOM MAP2 NO 2 Changes The new distortion map is based in observations of the G153 eld. ... The previous map had been obtained by tting the measured o set (distorted position minus linear position, or detector minus sky positions) as a polynomial function of the linear (sky) position. ... Therefore what is needed is a function of the measured detector (distorted) position and this is how the new distortion map OM ASTROMET 0010 has been built. ...
