چکیده

We consider the equations of motion of three-body problem in a Lagrange form (which means a consideration of relative motions of 3-bodies in regard to each other). Analyzing such a system of equations, we consider in details the case of moon‟s motion of negligible mass m3 around the 2-nd of two giant-bodies m1, m2 (which are rotating around their common centre of masses on Kepler’s trajectories), the mass of which is assumed to be less than the mass of central body. Under assumtions of R3BP, we obtain the equations of motion which describe the relative mutual motion of the centre of mass of 2-nd giant-body m2 (Planet) and the centre of mass of 3-rd body (Moon) with additional effective mass m2 placed in that centre of mass (m2 + m3), where  is the dimensionless dynamical parameter. They should be rotating around their common centre of masses on Kepler‟s elliptic orbits. For negligible effective mass (m2 + m3) it gives the equations of motion which should describe a quasi-circle orbit of 3-rd body (Moon) around the 2-nd body m2 (Planet) for most of the moons of the Planets in Solar system. But the orbit of Earth‟s Moon should be considered as non-constant elliptic motion for the effective mass 0.0178m2 placed in the centre of mass for the 3-rd body (Moon). The position of their common centre of masses should obviously differ for real mass m3 = 0.0123m2 and for the effective mass (0.0055+0.0123)m2 placed in the centre of mass of the Moon.

Exponential law as a more compatible model to describe orbits of planetary systems

  According to the Titus-Bode law, orbits of planets in the solar system obey a geometric progression. Many investigations have been launched to improve this law. In this paper, we apply square and exponential models to planets of solar system, moons of planets, and some extra solar systems, and compare them with each other.

Capture and escape in the elliptic restricted three-body problem

Several families of irregular moons orbit the giant planets. These moons are thought to have been captured into planetocentric orbits after straying into a region in which the planet’s gravitation dominates solar perturbations (the Hill sphere). This mechanism requires a source of dissipation, such as gas-drag, in order to make capture permanent. However, capture by gas-drag requires that parti...

Application of Dynamical Systems Theory to a Very Low Energy Transfer

We use lobe dynamics in the restricted three-body problem to design orbits with prescribed itineraries with respect to the resonance regions within a Hill’s region. The application we envision is the design of a low energy trajectory to orbit three of Jupiter’s moons using the patched three-body approximation (P3BA). We introduce the “switching region,” the P3BA analogue to the “sphere of influ...

Stable 1:2 Resonant Periodic Orbits in Elliptic Three-Body Systems

The results of an extensive numerical study of the periodic orbits of planar, elliptic restricted three-body planetary systems consisting of a star, an inner massive planet and an outer mass-less body in the external 1:2 mean-motion resonance are presented. Using the method of differential continuation, the locations of the resonant periodic orbits of such systems are identified and through an ...

Moon search algorithms for NASA's Dawn Mission to asteroid Vesta

A moon or natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planetary body such as a planet, dwarf planet, or an asteroid. Scientists seek understanding the origin and evolution of our solar system by studying moons of these bodies. Additionally, searches for satellites of planetary bodies can be important to protect the safety of a spacecraft as it approaches or orbits a planetary body. If a...
