LPO Constellation

Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Website: https://cislunarspace.cn

Definition

A satellite constellation based on libration point orbits (LPOs), achieving communication and navigation services across cislunar space through optimized multi-satellite configurations. Compared with traditional Keplerian satellite orbits, LPOs offer more diverse orbital options and more flexible spatial arrangements.

Application Value

Navigation system design and implementation must account for observation geometry, error propagation, and signal transmission delay. This concept supports positioning accuracy evaluation, navigation filter design, and constellation optimization.
