Abstract
A new type of trajectory in an experiment for measurement of G on boar d of a drift-free satellite is examined. Studying the relative motion of two bodies of different masses is suggested, the less massive body being in the vicinity of a libration point of the more massive body. C alculations show that the accuracy of the measurement of G can be incr eased by two orders of magnitude.
