Abstract

In this study, the locations of the equilibrium points of both triangular and collinear of restricted three-body problem andtheir stabilities are studied.This study was applied on ten binary asteroids. A code was constructed by MATHEMATICA languageto obtain liberation points and their stabilities.On the other hand, the contour of zero velocity curves was displayed for two stable and unstable binaries.
