contents The normal forms provide useful approximations for many trajectories of interest within the circular restricted three-body problem. This paper aims to thoroughly compare two of these forms: the Birkhoff normal form and the resonant normal form, highlighting the strengths of each for the representation of center manifold trajectories. A method of station-keeping is introduced, analogous to Floquet modes, in which the unstable component is minimized at specific points along a trajectory through impulsive maneuvers. Three different formulations of the same station-keeping approach are posed, collectively spanning Lyapunov, vertical, and halo orbits, as well as Lissajous and quasihalo trajectories.
