Definition

A reference frame rotating with the line connecting two primary bodies. Its origin is at the Earth–Moon barycenter, the X-axis points toward the Moon, and the Z-axis aligns with the system's angular momentum. In this frame the two primaries are stationary and the circular restricted three-body problem takes an autonomous form.
