This article discusses the maintenance of an L-1-type artificial equilibrium point in the Sun-[Earth+Moon] circular restricted three-body problem by means of an electric solar wind sail. The reference configuration instability is compensated for with a feedback control law that adjusts the grid voltage as a function of the distance from the natural L-1 point. Two different control strategies are analyzed assuming the solar wind fluctuations to be modeled through a statistical approach.

Abstract

This article discusses the maintenance of an L-1-type artificial equilibrium point in the Sun-[Earth+Moon] circular restricted three-body problem by means of an electric solar wind sail. The reference configuration instability is compensated for with a feedback control law that adjusts the grid voltage as a function of the distance from the natural L-1 point. Two different control strategies are analyzed assuming the solar wind fluctuations to be modeled through a statistical approach.
