Celestial mechanics: Analytical model reveals true cause of orbit bifurcations near Lagrange points
"In RTBP systems, Lagrange points between the two celestial bodies provide specific locations around which a spacecraft can orbit," explains Mingpei Lin, a member of an AIMR research team. "The ...
Correction: An earlier version of this story erroneously stated that China’s Queqiao satellite was orbiting the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point. In fact, Queqiao orbits the Earth-Moon L2 Lagrange point, a ...
"The ability to model how complex orbits—such as halo, and quasi-halo orbits—emerge around the unstable collinear Lagrange points enables better trajectory design using these points." However, a ...
