Definition
A station-keeping strategy for libration point orbits: a single impulsive maneuver is applied each time the spacecraft crosses the xz-plane of the rotating frame, nullifying the x and z velocity components to preserve the orbit shape while adjusting the y velocity to maintain the revolution. Characterized by few control parameters and simplicity, it has been validated by missions such as ARTEMIS.
Application Value
This term has significant application value in cislunar space missions。In the orbital design phase, engineers use relevant theories for trajectory optimization;In navigation and orbit determination, it is used to improve measurement accuracy;In attitude control and orbit maintenance tasks, it ensures stable spacecraft operation。In practical applications, parameter optimization and algorithm adaptation can be combined with mission requirements to improve mission success rate and resource utilization efficiency。
