Abstract

Sequences of periodic, consecutive-collision orbits in the restricted problem of three bodies have been found for cases where the two primaries are not of equal mass. Each sequence is imbedded in a family of consecutive-collision orbits. There seems to be an infinite number of such families and an infinite number of members in each sequence. Some of the orbits are shown graphically.
