Lagrange Points of Gravitational Equilibrium
by Christopher Mauro

This presentation describes the zones of gravitational equilibrium within systems of orbiting celestial bodies otherwise known as Lagrange Points. It includes the highlights of Lagrange’s career and accomplishments in the fields of mathematics and science. It describes the historical context of his life, much of his work done during the tumultuous French Revolution.
The presentation concludes with the practical use of Lagrange points in today’s space exploration and the application of Lagrange Points in future missions.
