Abstract

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