Due to the constant observation environment and low energy access of Sun-Earth libration point orbits, they have become extremely popular for many NASA science missions. The nonlinearity and instability of the orbits have made mission analysis more difficult as traditional approximations are no longer applicable. But the sensitivity of the orbits also provides greater flexibility in orbit design. Some typical mission trajectories are examined.
