Prospects for the use of space robots in the neighbourhood of the libration points

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the navigation tasks for space robots operating in the neighborhood of unstable libration points of the Earth-Sun system in the near-Earth space. The motion of robot in space is examined under a circular restricted three-body problem. The possibility of a space robot maneuvering in the near-Earth space with return to the neighborhood of a collinear libration point and stabilizing in the neighborhood of this point are shown.
