-*- I need information on scarce space resources. These are resources which may be allocated or allocable under one or more of the various space treaties. Two that come to mind immediately are the orbital slots in the geosynchronous orbit and the Lagrangian points. Today the geosynchronous orbital slots are allocated under international agreement. The Langrangian points, which have been suggested as space platform locations, have not been allocated, probably because the technology to utilize them is currently unavailable. Does anyone know of any actual proposal to use a Lagrangian point? Can anyone think of other space resources (locations) which are potentially useful and yet restricted in number or accessibility? Thanks for your help. Tom Turano Digital Equipment Corporation
