This paper represents a semi-analytical study of the effect of ground-based laser radiation pressure on the location of triangular points in the framework of the planar circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP). The formulation includes both the effects of oblateness of J2 in addition to laser radiation pressure, where laser’s disturbing function expanded in Legendre polynomials up to the first order. Earth-Moon system is considered in which a laser station is located on Earth and sends laser beams toward the infinitesimal body. The model takes into account the effect of Earth's atmosphere on laser beam propagation. The numerical application emphasis that the location of the triangular points affected by the considered perturbations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
