Abstract
This paper contains a proposal of a new way of treating astrodynamical stability problems. A definition of a practical stability and a direct method of its examination are presented. The method has been applied to the triangular points problem for variety of μ ande values in the case of the linearized equation system as well as in the general one. The results are shown in a form which facilitates the comparison with results published by other authors.
