ABSTRACT:
The present article studies the stability conditions of
central control artificial equilibrium generalized restricted problem of three
bodies. It is generalized in the sense that here we have taken the larger
primary body to be in shape of an oblate spheroid. The equilibrium
points are sought by the application of the propellant for which it would just
balance the gravitational forces. The launching flight of such a satellite is
seen to be applicable for having arbitrary space stations for these different
missions. Specialty of the result of the investigation lies in the fact that an
arbitrary space station can be formed to attain any specified mission.
