The Mathematical Model

The present paper has the goal of studying close approaches between a planet and a group of particles. The mathematical model includes the presence of the atmosphere of the planet. This cloud is assumed to be created by the passage of the spacecraft in the atmosphere of the planet, which can cause the explosion of the spacecraft. The system is assumed to be formed by the Sun, the planet, and the spacecraft that explodes and becomes a cloud of particles. The Sun and the planet are assumed to be in circular orbits and the motion is planar. The equations of motion are the ones given by the circular planar restricted three-body problem combined with the forces given by the atmospheric drag. In the numerical simulations, the planet Jupiter is the celestial body used for the close approaches. The initial positions and velocities of the spacecraft and the particles are specified at the periapsis, because it is assumed that this is the point where the explosion occurs.

In this paper the orbital evolution of Trojan asteroids are studied by integrating numerically the equations of motion over the interval 1660–2060, perturbations from Venus to Pluto being taken into account. The comparison of the actual motion of Trojans in the solar system with the theory based on the restricted three-body problem are given.

The orbital evolutions of fictitious asteroids with high inclinations have been investigated. The selected initial orbits represent asteroids with movement, which corresponds to the conditions of the Tisserand invariant for C = C (L1) in the restricted three body problem. Initial eccentricities of the orbits cover the interval 0.0–0.4, inclinations the interval 40–80°, and arguments of perihelion the interval 0–360°. The equations of motion of the asteroids were numerically integrated from the epoch March 25, 1991 forward within the interval of 20,000 years, using a dynamical model of the solar system consisting of all planets. The orbits of the model asteroids are stable at least during the investigated period.

A summary of the main relativistic effects in the motion of the Moon is presented. The results are based on the application of a novel approach to the restricted three-body problem in general relativity to the lunar motion. It is shown that the rotation of the Sun causes a secular acceleration in the relative Earth-Moon motion. This might appear to be due to a temporal “variation” of the gravitational constant.

Background: The location and stability of the equilibrium points are studied for the Planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem where the more massive primary is an oblate spheroid. Methods: The mean motion of the equations of motion is formulated from the secular perturbations as derived by(1) and used in(2–4). The singularities of the equations of motion are found for locating the equilibrium points. Their stability is analysed using the linearized variational equations of motion at the equilibrium points. Findings: As the effect of oblateness in the mean motion expression increases, the location and stability of the equilibrium points are affected by the oblateness of the more massive primary. It is interesting to note that all the three collinear points move towards the more massive primary with oblateness. It is a new result. Among the shifts in the locations of the five equilibrium points, the y–location of the triangular equilibrium points relocate the most. It is very interesting to note that the eccentricities (e) of the orbits around L1 and L3 increase, while it decreases around L2 with the addition of oblateness with the new mean motion. The decrease in e is significant in Saturn-Mimas system from 0.95036 to 0.87558. Similarly, the value of the critical mass ratio mc, which sets the limit for the linear stability of the triangular points, further reduces significantly from 0:285: : :A1 to 0:365: : :A1 with the new mean motion. The mean motion sz in the z-direction increases significantly with the new mean motion from 9A1/4 to 9A1/2.

This paper analyzes the restricted three-body problems in the ground test systems. First, under the ideal condition, after analyzing the forces on the spacecraft in the rotating coordinates, a mathematical model of elliptic restricted three-body motion is founded. Second, for the restricted three-body problem in the ground test system, the forces on the test ball are analyzed and the corresponding elliptic mathematical model apart from the perturbation is founded. Then, based on the two models founded above, the similarity between the ideal spatial model and the ground simulation model is analyzed.
