Abstract
The three-body closed-chain system cannot achieve the ideal LP equilibrium state under uncontrolled state, the main reasons are that there are slack and rebound phenomena in the tether between the three spacecraft, which is due to the low rotational rate of the tether system in the initial condition of LP equilibrium and the inability of the tether to withstand the pressure.
