Near minimum energy trajectories in the two fixed force-center problem

Near minimum energy trajectories in the two fixed force-center problem

The class of symmetric orbits with near minimum energy which originate very close to the earth and pass very close to a fixed moon of small mass are studied using asymptotic methods. An exact solution for the orbit is found using Bonnet's Theorem. This is an ellipse with the force centers as fo...
