Is the 3 body problem mostly meaningful above a certain mass? If you had small satellites could you deal with it?

- xnorswap 2y agoThe mass of a satellite is already trivial compared to the mass of the moon.
- itishappy 2y agoThe restricted three-body problem deals with the case when the third mass is trivial and the orbits are circular. The new solutions in this case are the Lagrange points. That's helpful, but doesn't make finding dynamic solutions much easier on it's own.
