It has been proved that, in the classical planar circular restricted three-body problem, the degenerate saddle point processes transverse homoclinic orbits. Since the standard Smale-Birkhoff theorem cannot be directly applied to indicate the chaotic dynamics of the Smale horseshoe type, we in this note alternatively apply the Conley-Moser conditions to analytically prove the existence of a Smale horseshoe in this classical restricted three-body problem.

The stable and unstable invariant manifolds associated with Lyapunov orbits about the libration point L1between the primaries in the planar circular restricted three-body problem with equal masses are considered. The behavior of the intersections of these invariant manifolds for values of the energy between that of L1and the other collinear libration points L2, L3is studied using symbolic dynamics. Homoclinic orbits are classified according to the number of turns about the primaries.
