Definition
The Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) is one of the most fundamental and commonly used dynamical models in deep space exploration. It describes the motion of a small body with negligible mass under the gravitational influence of two larger bodies. The two primary bodies are assumed to be point masses orbiting their common center of mass in circular orbits. In cislunar space, the two primary bodies are the Earth and the Moon. This model is effective for studying the dynamical characteristics and phase-space structures near the libration points.
