Definition

In cislunar initial orbit determination using three optical observations under CR3BP dynamics, the IOD problem can yield up to four solutions, unlike the two-body case which yields at most three.

Application Value

This concept is fundamental to cislunar orbital mechanics and mission analysis, providing essential theoretical support for trajectory design and operational planning.
