Two questions:
(1) Is there any facilty in SPICE to evaluate the position and velocity of
the Lagrangian points given the ephemerides of two solar system bodies?
(2) What would be the JPL/NAIF IDs of each of the Lagrangian points? I
notice that HORIZONS provides ephemerides for the L1 and L2 points of the
Sun-EMB system, with IDs 391 and 392, which suggests 393,394,395 for L3,
L4 and L5. But what of other systems like Earth-Moon, or Sun-Jupiter for
example?
Thank you.
John.
