5. CONCLUSION
We presented a model based on Keplerian orbits for establishing coordinate time on the Moon and rates of clocks at Lagrange points in cislunar space. We have used values for Keplerian orbit parameters that can be looked up; the only parameters that fit were the times of periapsis passage. The main numerical results obtained using our approach are given in Table II. We assumed a fixed eccentricity and fixed value for the semi-major axis for the Moon’s orbit around the Earth, as the present-day values for these parameters are very slowly varying [13].
