Ans: L1 or Lagrange Point 1 is one of the 5 points located between the sun and the earth where the gravitational pull of two large masses precisely equals the centripetal force required for a small object to move with them. They have been named after the Italian-French mathematician Josephy-Louis Lagrange. WIND and SOHO are other spacecraft positioned at L1 point. The L1 point of the Earth-Sun system affords an uninterrupted view of the sun.
