Overview of orbital dynamics and control for libration point orbits

Libration point orbits have the important applications in deep space exploration, and have been paid more attentions from all over the world. This paper goes into detail about the history of the development for the libration point orbits, and analyzes the structure of phase space and the phenomenon of homoclinic\heterclinic connections. It is addressed that the different transfers from Halo orbit to Earth, including the strategy of stationkeeping maneuver and the descriptions of attitudes, and then the constellation for deep exploration is treated. Libration point has the wide extensions into other fields of orbital dynamics, such as the cislunar transfer, sail equilibrium and formation flying in the gravitation if Earth which are highlighted in this paper.
