Summary Of: Halo orbit

A spacecraft in a halo orbit does not technically orbit the Lagrange point itself... Halo orbit from above in a frame rotating with the two primary bodies... Halo orbit from above in a frame rotating with the two primary bodies... Halo orbit from above in a frame rotating with the two primary bodies... Farquhar advocated using spacecraft in a halo orbit on the far side of the Moon... A spacecraft in such a halo orbit would be in continuous view of both the Earth and the far side of the...

orbit | Lagrange points | three-body problem | stationkeeping | Halo orbit from above in a frame rotating with the two primary bodies.  The blue sphere is the Earth, the gray sphere is the Moon, and the two red spheres are the Lagrange points L1 and L2. The spacecraft is orbiting near the L2 point. | Apollo | ISEE-3 | SOHO | ESA | NASA | Lissajous orbits | Genesis | v | d | Orbits | Box | Capture | Circular | Elliptical | Highly elliptical | Escape | Graveyard | Hyperbolic trajectory | Inclined | Non-inclined | Osculating | Parabolic trajectory | Parking | Synchronous | semi | sub | Geocentric | Geosynchronous | Geostationary | Sun-synchronous | Low Earth | Medium Earth | Molniya | Near-equatorial | Orbit of the Moon | Polar | Tundra | Areosynchronous | Areostationary | Lissajous | Lunar | Heliocentric | Heliosynchronous | Classical | Inclination | Longitude of the ascending node | Eccentricity | Argument of periapsis | Semi-major axis | Mean anomaly | epoch | True anomaly | Semi-minor axis | Linear eccentricity | Eccentric anomaly | Mean longitude | True longitude | Orbital period | Maneuvers | Bi-elliptic transfer | Geostationary transfer | Gravity assist | Hohmann transfer | Inclination change | Phasing | Rendezvous | Transposition, docking, and extraction | orbital mechanics | Apsis | Celestial coordinate system | Delta-v budget | Epoch | Ephemeris | Equatorial coordinate system | Gravity turn | Ground track | Interplanetary Transport Network | Kepler's laws of planetary motion | Lagrangian point | Low energy transfers | n-body problem | Oberth effect | Orbit equation | Orbital speed | Orbital state vectors | Perturbation | Retrograde and direct motion | Specific orbital energy | Specific relative angular momentum | List of orbits | Categories | Celestial mechanics | Orbits | Astrodynamics |
