Orbits that can be computed as restricted three-body problem solutions may serve as the basis for a communications network furnishing nearly continuous earth-Mars surface telemetry. A set of five Lagrangian libration points exist which are particular solutions for the motion of the third mass; near three of these points, a spacecraft can move in a three-dimensional 'Lissajous' quasi-periodic and controllably unstable orbit. A derivative of this orbit is the periodic 'halo' orbit. By stationing two spacecraft in halo orbits near Mars, a communications bridge superior to that obtainable via a network of communications satellites can be created.
