Cislunar Libration Point Constellation

Definition

A satellite constellation deployed at the Earth-Moon triangular libration points L3, L4, and L5. The three satellites are evenly distributed at 120-degree intervals in the lunar orbital plane, forming commanding positions over high-Earth-orbit regions. The paper designs L3 on a small-amplitude Lyapunov orbit and L4/L5 on quasi-periodic orbits for long-duration, low-cost station-keeping.

Application Value

This concept is fundamental to cislunar orbital mechanics and mission analysis, providing essential theoretical support for trajectory design and operational planning.
