Definition

Parameters q1 and p1 in the characteristic parameter set, describing spacecraft motion along stable and unstable manifolds. q1 approaching zero indicates approach to the libration point along the stable manifold, while p1 approaching zero indicates departure along the unstable manifold.

Application Value

This concept plays an important role in trajectory optimization and mission planning applications.
