The title of this work, Halo Orbit, from a specific type of orbit in space. The pattern comes from an interaction between the gravitational pull of two planetary bodies and the Coriolis and centrifugal force on a spacecraft. Now, I could lie and say I understand 100%, from the science end, exactly what that means, but the shorthand version is that it is a consistent orbital pattern, shaped like an infinity loop. WIND, the older of my two siblings, is in a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrange point in our Sun-Earth-Satellite system. A Lagrange point is a place in space where the gravitational pull of two celestial bodies balances the centripetal force of a satellite. I am caught in my own halo orbit, my two planetary bodies being art and science. Halo Orbit explores my placement in that orbit and focuses on my relationship to WIND and POLAR.Accessibility Statement
