Does anyone know where I can find one? I've written a program to test the stability of the lunar L2 point by placing a massless test object in orbit there and I've found an optimised value based on the approximation
[tex]r_{m}(\frac{M_{M}}{3M_{E}})^{1/3}[/tex]
where [tex]r_{m}[/tex] is the radius of the moon's orbit, [tex]M_{M}[/tex] is the mass of the moon and [tex]M_{E}[/tex] is the mass of the Earth. I need an accepted value to compare my precise, optimised L2 value to, but I haven't been able to find one anywhere. Can anyone help me out please?
