Abstract

This paper deals with the existence and the stability of the earth-moon libration points in the restricted three-body problem. In this paper we have considered the bigger primary as an ellipsoid while the smaller one as a point-mass. This is observed that the collinear and non-collinear libration points exist only in the interval 0˚<φ < 45˚. There exist three collinear libration points and the non-collinear libration points are forming a right triangle with the primaries. Further observed that the libration points either collinear or non-collinear all are unstable in 0˚<φ < 45˚.
