Definition

A phase representation method for Lissajous orbits that unifies time and phase. In the effective phase plane, Lissajous orbits appear as straight lines with constant slope, facilitating trajectory design and eclipse avoidance analysis.

Application Value

Effective Phase plays an important role in orbit maneuver design, analysis, and transfer planning for cislunar missions.
