Abstract
This work characterizes linearized CR3BP propagation accuracy in the cislunar region through convergence analysis and Monte Carlo robustness assessment over hundreds of initial conditions. Results quantify order error scaling with timestep, identify phase-space regions where linearization remains valid, and provide practical guidelines for relinearization cadence selection in Earth–Moon mission design.
