Perturbative acceleration of sun disrupts equilibrium of five Lagrange libration points in earth-moon system by introducing nonhomogeneous forcing function in equations of motion; analytic expressions for this function, including indirect effect of sun on moon, are derived; to verify results of analysis, several trajectories were computed by numerical integration for vehicle; it is concluded that stationkeeping propulsion required to maintain vehicle near libration points (1 or 2) is independent of solar perturbation and depends primarily upon accuracy of navigation and guidance systems.
