Tóm tắt

Near rectilinear halo orbits (NRHOs), a subset of the $$L_1$$ and $$L_2$$ halo orbit families, are strong candidates for a future inhabited facility in line with the goals for NASA’s long-term cislunar transportation network. Higher-period dynamical structures that bifurcate from the NRHO region of the $$L_2$$ halo family offer additional insight into motion departing from or arriving into the vicinity. Characteristics of the NRHOs and the higher-period orbits, including stability and eclipse-avoidance properties, are presented and their persistence is verified in a higher-fidelity ephemeris model.
