Circular Restricted Three Body Problem
🛰️ Circular Restricted Three Body Problem EP 471 — Project Summary This project explores how small disturbances in launch angle and velocity affect a single Moon flyby and return to Earth orbit. The orbit is simulated numerically using a Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) — chosen because other methods become unstable when trajectories pass near the Moon. The system is modeled using the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem (CR3BP) approximation. Methodology The numerical simulation: ...
