Solutions and devices are investigated for the purpose of keeping an artificial satellite stable at the inferior conjunction point of the earth-moon system, while using the minimum amount of momentum. A significant factor brought out in the study is that the exactness of the inferior conjunction solution, is high-order perturbations are neglected, makes it preferable in some ways to the triangular Lagrangian solution of a restricted body. On the other hand, the inferior conjunction point shows a larger degree of instability of position as compared to the traingular Lagrangian solution. A solar sail of relatively small dimensions and a mechanical autonomous device can provide the desired stability without using momentum. It is also possible to obtain this stabilization with a jet system that uses a minimum momentum. The smallness of the acceleration needed to keep a satellite in a region of 50 km around the inferior conjunction point is indicated, and the stability is examined assuming that the position sensors can detect displacements of the order of 2 km.
