In this paper simulating and visualization of spacecraft movement are being studied. The purpose of this work is to create an application for Android devices that would allow to simulate and visualize the movement of spacecraft in space near libration point L2 in Sun-Earth system. Simulation of spacecraft movement in three body problem is executed using numerical methods to solve ordinary differential equation systems. Apache Commons Math library is used in order to use numerical methods on Android. Ability to choose starting point on map that shows amplitude of different orbits near L2 point is implemented.
