... One possible application of a solar sail is a spacecraft to warn Earth of approaching interplanetary disturbances and shocks. ... Spacecraft that can provide such a warning are currently stationed at (or near) the Lagrangian L1 point , between the Earth and the Sun--at about 4 times the distance of the moon and 1/100 times that of the Sun. ... Because of the greater distance from Earth, the Earth's pull there is weaker, not enough to make the spacecraft match the Earth's motion around the Sun. ...

For the last few decades InformChaos Lab of the Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics of Russian Academy of Sciences studies chaos and complex dynamics of nonlinear systems. In 2000 as a result of these studies we proposed a concept of Direct Chaotic Communications (DCC) . Testbeds of wireless communication systems demonstrated transmission of information with rates up to 200 Mbps. Chaotic (noise-like ) oscillations of deterministic systems are used as information carriers in DCC. ...

... Concept Spacecraft . ... The proposed lentiular design concept for the Apollo spacecraft was one of several unorthodox designs rejected in favour of the more familiar conical shape which was lighter and less complex.The lenticular design was a ?road not taken?, losing out to less challenging configurations.It is strange to think that if history had proceeded differently, each Apollo crew could have ended their lunar mission by gliding to a touchdown on a runway at Edwards AFB in a flying saucer! ...
