Libration point orbit
text:
In orbital mechanics, a libration point orbit (LPO) is a quasiperiodic orbit around a Lagrange point. Libration is a form of orbital motion exhibited, for example, in the Earth–Moon system. Trojan bodies also exhibit libration dynamics. Two varieties of libration point orbits amenable to Lyapunov stability are halo orbits and Lissajous orbits The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is in a libration point orbit around the L2 Lagrange point of the Sun, and Earth-Moon barycenters.
