Abstract
Stable and unstable limit cycles are important orbits in chaotic systems. So many works are done to find and to quench chaos by stabilizing them. In this paper a new family of limit cycle orbits around the Moon is introduced as a result of restricted three-body problem. The family is completely spatial and can be used as an out-of-plane velocity magnifier. Lyapunov exponent in the Floquet theory has also been checked and stability of the orbits has been measured.
