Named for the sailor on Columbus' voyage who first saw the
New World, Triana is a satellite mission to L1 (the Lagrange
libration, or neutral gravity point between the Earth and the
Sun). From L1, Triana will have a continuous, full disk, sunlit
view of the Earth. The mission will provide this view of the
Earth for distribution over the Internet at the beginning of the
new millennium.
