This map characterizes the fate of trajectories in the vicinity of Saturn in the Sun-Saturn Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem. Periapsis crossings are colored based on an associated trajectory's subsequent behavior. The blue and red colored points bound regions where trajectories escape Saturn's region of influence via L1 and L2 libration point gateways. The black dots represent trajectories that remain bounded in the vicinity of Saturn for 1000 years. Click on one of the green dots in the image to view the associated trajectory in the rotating and inertial frames. |
