Abstract

In the restricted three body problem, each of the Lagrange points is in equilibrium between gravitational forces of the two primary bodies and centrifugal force in the rotating frame. A non-equilibrium point, which is not at Lagrange points, can be turned into an artificial equilibrium point (AEP) by canceling any residual acceleration at the non-equilibrium points with continuous control acceleration. This study describes an investigation of periodic orbits around the AEPs in the restricted three body problem. The non-linearized equations of motion in this problem are linearized around the AEPs, and periodic orbits are generated by simple constant control acceleration in three-dimensional space.
