The Strategic Value of Lagrange Points

Lagrange points are the gravitational 'high ground' of the Earth-Moon system. They are the natural nodes for space architecture.

In a two-body orbital system, there are five points where a third small mass can maintain a stable position relative to the two large bodies.

Earth-Moon L1 and L2

EM-L1 is located between the Earth and Moon. It offers continuous line-of-sight to the Earth-facing lunar hemisphere and acts as an ideal staging node for lunar surface access.

EM-L2 is located behind the Moon. It allows continuous communication with assets on the lunar far side and is shielded from Earth's radio interference.
