Lissajous orbit, the Glossary

In orbital mechanics, a Lissajous orbit, named after Jules Antoine Lissajous, is a quasi-periodic orbital trajectory that an object can follow around a Lagrangian point of a three-body system with minimal propulsion.^[1]

Lagrange point

In celestial mechanics, the Lagrange points (also Lagrangian points or libration points) are points of equilibrium for small-mass objects under the gravitational influence of two massive orbiting bodies. Lissajous orbit and Lagrange point are Lagrangian mechanics.

Libration point orbit

In orbital mechanics, a libration point orbit (LPO) is a quasiperiodic orbit around a Lagrange point.

Lissajous curve

A Lissajous curve, also known as Lissajous figure or Bowditch curve, is the graph of a system of parametric equations which describe the superposition of two perpendicular oscillations in x and y directions of different angular frequency (a and b). The resulting family of curves was investigated by Nathaniel Bowditch in 1815, and later in more detail in 1857 by Jules Antoine Lissajous (for whom it has been named). Lissajous orbit and Lissajous curve are Trigonometry.
