Quasihalo orbits are Lissajous trajectories librating about the well known halo orbits. The main feature of these orbits is that they keep an exclusion zone in the same way that halo orbits do. As a result, the knowledge of this type of orbit gives more flexibility to the mission analysis design about collinear libration points of any pair of primaries in the solar system. This paper is devoted to the semianalytical computation of quasihalo orbits in the circular restricted three-body problem by means of an ad hoc Lindstedt-Poincaré method. The study of the practical convergence of the procedure and the extension of the orbits to suitable locations in the solar system using Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ephemerides is also discussed.
