"The Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment (CAPSTONE) CubeSat will be the first spacecraft to test the Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) around the Moon."

"...as early as June 27th"

I'm really interested in this orbit - will it work as predicted? How much fuel is required to maintain this orbit?
