Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP)

• Newton, first studied the 3 Body Problem

• Rotating Frame

• Euler: L1, L2, L3

• Lagrange: L4, L5

• Restricted Problem– 3rd body infinitessimal– Two primaries move in

circles– Sun-Earth-Spacecraft,

Sun-Jupiter-Comet, …

• Jacobi Integral

Restricted Three Body Problem

• Simplified model with energy integral– Useful for analytic studies– Symmetries avoid phasing and timing problems

• Still non-integrable, i.e. no orbital elements– Solutions requires numerical integration– Key Problem: How to replace orbital elements?

• Model sufficiently faithful for mission design– Can “move” solutions into full JPL ephemeris models– Key Problem: How to move solutions between

models?
