I'm looking for general ways of calculating estimates of stationkeeping
deltavee requirements (e.g., m/(s y)) for satellites/stations in various orbits (low, medium, high, and apostationary if relevnat) around arbitrary bodies, and at each of the five Lagrange points between each (sensible) combination of bodies. Obviously this is something of a tall order, but for my purposes the estimates need not be exact; within an order of magnitude or so is good enough. I managed to find e-folding instability times for a few specific situations, but obviously 1. that doesn't answer the question generally and 2. there's more to stationkeeping than just pure e-folding time; there's also perturbations for nearby objects. Could someone suggest a relatively simple algorithm to compute such things to some reasonable degree of accuracy for each of the scenarios described above?
