Abstract
⺠LISA Pathfinder, future ESA mission, has the capacity to test gravitational theories. ⺠To do so, it has to fly by the Earth-Sun saddle point, from L1, its actual station. ⺠Such a trajectory is feasible with only a few, small manoeuvres. ⺠To enhance the science return, it is even possible to fly by the saddle point twice.
