ABSTRACT
The Three Body Problem The three body problem studies the motion of three
masses whose gravitational attraction have an effect on each other. The
dynamics of the three-body problem are essentially different from those of two
bodies, because in the latter case, an analytical solution may be found that
admits orbits in the form of conic sections. This problem has been studied at
great length and is the basis of most of today’s orbit planning and trajectory
design for satellites. However, the two-body problem is valid on close to a
single massive body, compared to which the target body (the object whose
motion is desired) is essentially a massless particle. In deep space, when there
may be two or more massive bodies to affect the motion of our test particle, the
two-body solution obviously fails. It then becomes essential to study the three-
body problem.

I. INTRODUCTION
In the restricted three body problem (RTBP), the
target mass/test particle is assumed to be of negligible
mass when compared to the other two bodies (called
primaries). The two primaries orbit around their
common center of mass and their motion is
unaffected by the test particle. Common examples of
the RTBP are: a satellite in the Earth-Moon system,
asteroids in the Sun-Jupiter system, etc.
The most common alternative to the RTBP is
the method of patched conics. Here, it is assumed that
the test particle is only under the effect of one
primary when in its vicinity, and under the effect of
the other primary when close to it. This allows the
solution in terms of two conic analytical solutions to
the orbit, hence the name patched conics. Here we
must introduce the concept of the sphere of influence
- the sphere enclosing the second primary of
comparatively less mass, in which the effects of the
more massive primary can be “switched off”. At the
point of entry into the sphere of influence, the
position and velocity conditions of the two conic
orbits are matched to ensure continuity. Obviously, it
is less accurate than the three-body problem and only
serves as a preliminary trajectory design tool.
The RTBP has been the subject of constant
study for the last few centuries. It has given rise to
