Description
Halo orbits of the earth (Farquhar, 1970) and their stationkeeping
control are investigated analytically in the framework of the restricted
three-body problem, and numerical algorithms based on the results are
demonstrated, summarizing the report of Gomez et al. (1985). The
semianalytical approach employed is explained; the halo-orbit
neighborhood is characterized; the control of halo orbits and the
invariant manifolds is considered; an analytical solution of the control
parameters is obtained; and the results of numerical simulations are
presented graphically.
