Abstract
The goal of this lecture is to present a survey on the use of methods, based on ideas of Hamiltonian dynamical systems with three and more degrees of freedom, to design spacecraft missions on the vicinity of collinear points. These points as such exist only on some simplified models, but they can be introduced in a geometric way in improved and realistic models. A combination of symbolic and numerical methods is used for the design of the nominal orbit. The local analysis of the dynamics around this orbit is used both for station keeping and for transfer manoeuvres. Some conclusions end the lecture.
