Abstract

The orbital dynamics of a satellite in a bipolar gravitational field was obtained using a computer simulation. The theoretical orbital dynamics calculations were done using the "Restricted 3-Body Problem" approach (analytic) and the "Summation of Gravitational Forces" Approach (numerical). The trajectories of a single satellite moving in several binary configurations were obtained and the energy content of system was also described.
