Abstract We develop new methods for generating periodic orbits about the collinear libration points and for stabilizing motion on libration orbits using the general formalism of the elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP). Calculation of periodic orbits is accomplished by formulating the ER3BP as a control problem. This approach yields halo-like orbits that do not exist without applying active control, having arbitrarily small amplitudes. Linearization about the libration points in pulsating coordinates yields an unstable linear parameter-varying (LPV) system with periodic coefficients. We introduce a continuous acceleration control term into the state-space dynamics and use an LPV-generalized version of the pole-assignment technique to find linear periodic reference trajectories. The nonlinear terms of the equations of motion are then treated as periodic disturbances. A disturbance-accommodating control is used to track the libration-point reference orbit in the presence of nonlinear periodic disturbances. Simulation experiments show that stationkeeping is robust to propulsive dispersions.
