The halo orbits about the Langrangian points L1 and L2 of the Sun-Earth system are discussed. The elliptic restricted three-body problem with the Sun at one focus and the mass Earth plus Moon at the other focus, i.e., at the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system, is solved up to the third-order. The small perturbative effects are shown to be almost negligible. For large halo orbits about the Lagrangian points L1 and L2, a third-order Lindstedt-Poincare method was developed. The two families of corresponding Halo orbits are presented. A simple stationkeeping procedure is outlined. The Lindstedt-Poincare equations program modules (FORTRAN) are given, with numerical tests.
