Abstract
Kuiper(1973) suggested that the stability of the Solar System may be meaningfully investigated by studying the stability of the Sun-Jupiter-Saturn system. Numerical investigations by Nacozy(1976) showed that mass enhancement of the two planets beyond a factor of 29.25 led to instabilities in the system. In this new investigation similar mass enhancements were studied in detail numerically and compared with the analytical values derived from the c2H method. In addition, the eccentricities of the two planets were varied as well as their masses. It was found that the system soon showed signs of instability for the increased eccentricities when the masses of the planets were enhanced by fairly small factors.
