Definition
The form of the three-body problem considering only the primary gravitational effects without other perturbations. In the restricted three-body problem, this means neglecting the third body's influence on the primaries.
Application Value
The Unperturbed Problem plays a significant role in cislunar space mission design, analysis, and control. In orbital design, it can be leveraged for transfer trajectory optimization; in navigation and control, it improves mission execution precision and reliability; in system analysis, it facilitates deeper understanding of complex multi-body dynamical behavior, guiding mission planning and risk assessment.
