Need help with calculation of Lagrangian points in cartesian coordinate system.
Input data:
Major body: positon <0,0>, speed <0,0> , mass = M1
Minor body: position <R,0>, speed <Vx,Vy> (elliptical orbit with eccentricity near 0, so Vx is not zero), mass=M2
How to calculate position and speed vectors of Lagrangian points (center of Lagrangian "area")?

Nobody can help?
I just want to place here some objects in Orbiter and maybe to make simple celbody module addon for creating artificial satellites in these points.
For example: MJD 55129.0, Moon position relative to Earth: <403551905.78, 0,0> speed: <14.5409, 968.3182, 0> (data from Orbiter after few simple coordinate transformations).
Where is L1 point, and how to calculate speed vector for this point? Is there some equation for gravity, centrifugal, Coriolis forces?
