Definition
A model in celestial mechanics where a body of negligible mass moves under the gravitational attraction of two massive bodies; the foundational framework for cislunar orbital dynamics.
Application Value
Restricted Three-Body Problem, RTBP plays an important role in orbital dynamics and attitude control, serving as a critical tool for analyzing spacecraft motion characteristics. Research on this concept enables optimization of orbit transfer schemes and improvement of control system performance.
