The Microwave Anisotropy Probe was successfully launched on June 30, 2001 and placed into a Lissajous orbit about the L2 Sun-Earth-Moon libration point. However, the L2 libration point is unstable which necessitates occasional stationkeeping maneuvers in order to maintain the spacecraft s Lissajous orbit. Analyses were performed in order to develop a feasible L2 stationkeeping strategy for the MAP mission. The resulting strategy meets the allotted fuel budget, allowing for enough fuel to handle additional he1 taxes, while meeting the attitude requirements for the maneuvers. Results from the first two stationkeeping maneuvers are included.
