A distant retrograde orbit (DRO), as most commonly conceived, is a spacecraft orbit around a moon that is highly stable because of its interactions with two Lagrange points (L1 and L2) of the planet–moon system. In more general terms, an object of negligible mass can be in a DRO around the smaller body of any two-body system, such as planet–Sun or exoplanet–star. DROs have been researched for several decades, but in 2022, NASA's Orion Spacecraft entered the orbit during the Artemis 1 mission and it was speculated that the Chang'e 5 orbiter may also have now done so.

dbo:abstract
  • Entfernter rückläufiger Orbit ist eine Kategorie von Umlaufbahnen um den kleineren Himmelskörper eines Zweikörpersystems, üblicherweise einen um einen Planeten kreisenden Mond. Da diese Umlaufbahnen sehr stabil sind und ein Raumflugkörper dort ohne Treibstoffverbrauch für Bahnkorrekturmanöver über mehrere hundert Jahre verbleiben kann, haben sie einen hohen praktischen Nutzen. Ende 2021 nahm der Orbiter der chinesischen Sonde Chang’e 5 weltweit erstmals einen entfernten rückläufigen Orbit um den Erdmond ein. (de)
  • A distant retrograde orbit (DRO), as most commonly conceived, is a spacecraft orbit around a moon that is highly stable because of its interactions with two Lagrange points (L1 and L2) of the planet–moon system. In more general terms, an object of negligible mass can be in a DRO around the smaller body of any two-body system, such as planet–Sun or exoplanet–star. Using the example of a spacecraft in a DRO around a moon, the craft would orbit in the direction opposite to the direction in which the moon orbits the planet. The orbit is "distant" in the sense that it passes above the Lagrange points, rather than being near the moon. If we consider more and more distant orbits, the synodic period (the period between two moments when the craft passes between the planet and the moon) gets longer and approaches that of the moon going around the planet, so that the sidereal period (the time it takes for the craft to come back to a given constellation as viewed from the moon) can become much longer than the orbital period of the moon. A hypothetical example with Europa has a sidereal period about eight times the orbital period of Europa. DROs have been researched for several decades, but in 2022, NASA's Orion Spacecraft entered the orbit during the Artemis 1 mission and it was speculated that the Chang'e 5 orbiter may also have now done so.
