Abstract
[en] The primary objective of this work is to study different operational orbits for missions towards the triangular Lagrangian points of the Sun-Earth system. We investigate the effects of the Solar system planets, the solar radiation pressure and the Earth's orbital eccentricity on the stability of these orbits. We also study the distribution of debris in the Earth’s rotating frame in case of a fragmentation event occurring either exactly at L5 or on orbit around that point. In the context of space debris mitigation, long-term graveyard orbits about L5 are finally considered.
