Scientific paper

Many important events regarding the space missions to the Solar Foci took place after the Conference of 18 June 1992 that may be of interest to British Interplanetary Society (BIS) readers to know: (1) Several international conferences took place after 18 June 1992 at which the author presented the basic ideas about the gravitational lens of the Sun and the related space missions; (2) A formal Proposal was submitted to the European Space Agency (ESA) in 1993 by the author on behalf of an international group of scientists, with the intention to arouse the interest of ESA scientists and planners for these topics. The same should be done with NASA at the earliest oppurtunity; (3) Besides the focus at 550 AU (for electromagnetic waves), one more focus is believed to exist within the solar system, actually in between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, for those 'waves', like gravitational waves, neutrinos and the like, that can propagate inside the Sun. This is because the inner layers of the Sun are much more massive than the outer layers, so that this very dense core is able to deflect gravitationally even waves passing much closer to the Sun's centre, causing them to focalize at a much shorter distance than 550 AU. This possibility, and the easier relevant space missions, need to be investigated more in depth. These recent developments are briefly reviewed in the present paper, thus completing the publication of the Proceedings of the Turin 18 June 1992 Conference on 'Space Missions and Astrodynamics'.
