Throughout the years, different strategies have been proposed for the station-keeping around the libration point orbits. In this paper, a geometrical comparative analysis is performed between different approaches making use of the Floquet modes reference frame. Two particular station-keeping procedures are considered: the commonly used velocity constraint at the plane crossing, and the Floquet mode approach. The first method finds the Δ v that ensures that the x component of the velocity vector is zero at a plane crossing, whereas the Floquet mode approach finds the Δ v that cancels the unstable mode in the Floquet reference frame. It will be seen that both approaches have some basic common geometrical features, even when they are compared using high-order techniques.
