Definition

A variant of the restricted three-body problem where the third body moves in three-dimensional space rather than being confined to the plane of the primaries' motion. Used for studying orbits of minor planets with large inclinations and space dynamics applications.

Application Value

Three-Dimensional Restricted Problem plays an important role in orbit maneuver design, analysis, and transfer planning for cislunar missions.
