Following directly on from An update on all things Lissajous and Halo, attached is a zip file containing a scenario and associated script and data files for a demonstration scenario of station-keeping at Earth-Moon L2 Lagrange point.
Download the zip file and, in the usual file, copy the files into the relevant Orbiter directories. Then:
* open Orbiter and run the 'EML2.scn' scenario;
* open the Lua Console using the Scenario Editor and type <run 'Lissajous/EML2'>
You should now have two stock Delta-Gliders docked to each other at Earth-Moon L2. The motion of one of the Delta-Gliders ('GL-NT') is 'slaved' to EML2 and will remain firmly anchored to the Lagrange point even at high time acceleration. The motion of the other Delta-Glider ('GL-01') is unconstrained and can be manoeuvred at will. It will not, however, remain at the L2 Lagrange point without active station-keeping on your part.
In the top right-hand portion of the screen you should see some blue text recording the cumulative amount of station-keeping dV required to keep GL-NT on-station at the Lagrange point. If you do not see this, the station-keeping script has not been loaded correctly.
Enjoy.
