Website: https://cislunarspace.cn
Definition
A navigation system deploying multiple satellites on Earth-Moon libration point orbits (e.g., Lyapunov or Vertical orbits at L3, L4, L5) and DRO, achieving autonomous orbit determination through inter-satellite ranging and gravitational asymmetry, covering the entire cislunar space with a small number of satellites.
Application Value
This concept is fundamental to cislunar orbital mechanics and mission analysis, providing essential theoretical support for trajectory design and operational planning.
