A Comparative Floquet–Lyapunov Study of Perturbation-Induced Halo Orbit Instability in the Earth–Moon System
This study employs a unified Floquet–Lyapunov framework to demonstrate that while solar radiation pressure and lunar oblateness act as mild regularizers, third-body solar gravity is the dominant perturbation driving instability in Earth–Moon L1 and L2 halo orbits, whereas L3 orbits remain quasi-stable and require significantly less station-keeping.
