The ARTEMIS mission, part of the THEMIS extended mission, is the first to fly spacecraft in the Earth-Moon Lissajous regions. In 2009, two of the five THEMIS spacecraft were redeployed from Earth-centered orbits to arrive in Earth-Moon Lissajous orbits in late 2010. Starting in August 2010, the ARTEMIS Pl spacecraft executed numerous station-keeping maneuvers, initially maintaining a lunar L2 Lissajous orbit before transitioning into a lunar LI orbit. The ARTEMIS P2 spacecraft entered a LI Lissajous orbit in October 2010. In April 2011, both ARTEMIS spacecraft will suspend Lissajous station-keeping and will be maneuvered into lunar orbits. The success of the ARTEMIS mission has allowed the science team to gather unprecedented magnetospheric measurements in the lunar Lissajous regions.
