A Review of Invariant Manifold Dynamics of the CRTBP and Some Applications

  • Chapter
Book cover Nonlinear Science and Complexity

Abstract

In this short review we show how the invariant manifolds of quasiperiodic orbits about libration point regimes play a crucial role to study the dynamics in some astrodynamical and astronomical problems, and how they can be used for practical purposes. Some discussion about their computation is also given.
