Abstract

In order to continuous communication with lunar orbiter and even far side station at the back of Moon, Lagrange points L₁, L₂, L₄ and L₅ is considered to be candidates for relay satellites or orbiters in the Earth-Moon restricted three body system. Positions of Lagrange points in solar system including Earth-Moon system were calculated and missions before and future around these points, especially Sun-Earth L₁ and L₂ were listed. Lagrange points satellites, orbiters and local networks on the ground of a celestial body will constitute a planetary networks connected by an interplanetary backbone in the whole architecture of Inter PlaNetary Internet.
