Signature

Bodies: P1-P2
Primary: P1
Sequence (canonical): P1-P2
Sense: n/a
Orbit class: Cycler
strict cycler (infinite returns)
Cycler class: non-keplerian (CR3BP)
Trajectory regime: ballistic
Maintenance ΔV band: unclassified
Model assumption: cr3bp
CR3BP — Jacobi-constant-conserved; signature not patched-conic comparable.
Period: — yr (1 × P1-P2 synodic)
T = 12.295263874014290 TU (Ross & Roberts-Tsoukkas 2026 arXiv:2606.29189v1 Table I, mu=0.1 (3,2) representative). Abstract-mu row: TU is a nominal placeholder (1.0 s) and bodies P1/P2 are generic. Note: mu=0.1 is close to the Earth-Moon mass ratio (~1.2e-2) and Pluto-Charon (~0.109) but is the generic abstract-mu Table-I row. years: null (no real bodies, CR3BP).

Planar CR3BP rotating-frame periodic orbit, abstract-mu (mu=0.1, no real bodies); Keplerian elements inapplicable.

Orbit view 2.5D ecliptic projection

Not renderable from current data. This is a rotating-frame (CR3BP) periodic orbit. A faithful render requires numerical propagation of the synodic-frame state, which the catalogue does not yet publish as a sampled path — so no stand-in ellipse is drawn (drawing a heliocentric ellipse here would misrepresent the dynamics). The CR3BP identity (Jacobi constant, period, stability) is tabulated above.

model: CR3BP (rotating frame)

3D view not available for rotating-frame (CR3BP) orbits.

Abstract-mu row: mu=0.1 anchor. The (3,2) family at mu=0.1 seeds the Pluto-Charon C-sweep (see ross-rt-pc-cycler-32-2026). lunit_km and tunit_s are nominal placeholders (1.0).
