Definition

A special class of resonance orbits in the Earth-Moon three-body system, lying in the X-Y plane of the barycentric rotating frame and symmetric about the X-Z plane. These orbits periodically revisit multiple libration points or celestial bodies in the Earth-Moon system, making them suitable for space observation missions.

Application Value

地月周期轨道是在地月空间中闭合的周期轨道，如DRO和NRHO，是未来地月空间站选址的依据。
