Descripción
Stationkeeping for near halo orbits in the Earth-Moon-Sun system is
studied. The full solar system is considered as a perturbation of the
restricted three body problem. The families of halo orbits and the
motion near them is studied. The general equations of motion are
integrated to get the final nominal quasi-periodic orbit. The on/off
stationkeeping is based on geometrical considerations using a dynamical
systems approach. Software to perform analytical and numerical
computations and to do simulations of the real behavior was produced. It
is proved that the proposed method is very cheap in terms of fuel and it
requires no computing time when the nominal orbit and projection factors
are available. The feasibility of radiation pressure and low thrust
stationkeeping is shown.
