unstable orbit
1Homoclinic orbit — In mathematics, a homoclinic orbit is a trajectory of a flow of a dynamical system which joins a saddle equilibrium point to itself. More precisely, a homoclinic orbit lies in the intersection of the stable manifold and the unstable manifold of… …

3Geostationary orbit — Geostationary orbit.To an observer on the rotating Earth (fixed point on the Earth), the satellite appears stationary in the sky. A red satellite is also geostationary above its own point on Earth. Top Down View …
4Halo orbit — A halo orbit is a periodic, three dimensional orbit near the L1, L2, or L3 Lagrange points in the three body problem of orbital mechanics. A spacecraft in a halo orbit does not technically orbit the Lagrange point itself (which is just an… …
5Heteroclinic orbit — In mathematics, in the phase portrait of a dynamical system, a heteroclinic orbit (sometimes called a heteroclinic connection) is a path in phase space which joins two different equilibrium points. If the equilibrium points at the start and end… …
6Lissajous orbit — In orbital mechanics, a Lissajous orbit is a quasi periodic orbital trajectory that an object can follow around a collinear libration point (Lagrangian point) of a three body system without requiring any propulsion. Lyapunov orbits around a… …

10Hungaria family — The Hungaria asteroids are a group of asteroids in the main belt that orbit the Sun between 1.78 and 2.00 AU. The asteroids typically have a low eccentricity (below 0.18) and an inclination of 16 to 34 degrees. [… …
