In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space. The problem assumes that the two bodies are point particles that interact only with one another; the only force affecting each object arises from the other one, and all other objects are ignored. The most prominent example of the classical two-body problem is the gravitational case, arising in astronomy for predicting the orbits of objects such as satel
