NASA ID: NRHO visualization with low-lunar orbit
This animation shows the Gateway space station's polar orbit, a unique, highly elongated near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) represented by the blue line that steadily covers every part of the Moon, permitting access to the entire surface. A precisely polar low lunar orbit is represented by the orange line for reference.
