Observation Constellation

Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Website: https://cislunarspace.cn

Definition

Constellations designed for specific observation targets, such as constellations for Earth polar region or lunar south pole observation, leveraging orbits close to observation targets (e.g., clover-shaped orbits, L2 vertical Lyapunov orbits) to achieve continuous coverage.

Application Value

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