The formation flight problem near the Lagrange points is of great interest. Recent work in the study of the feasibility of formation flight near the Lagrange points indicates that 1.) Formation flight near L2 is dynamically possible for the TPF Mission; and 2. Linear control around a nonlinear baseline libration orbit near L2 is adequate for the TPF Mission. This paper provides simulations which validate these conclusions.
