Precision Formation Flying is an enabling technology for a variety of proposed space-based observatories, including the Micro-Arcsecond X-ray Imaging Mission (MAXIM) , the associated MAXIM pathfinder mission, Stellar Imager (SI) and the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF). An essential element of the technology is the control algorithm, requiring a clear understanding of the dynamics of relative motion. This paper examines the dynamics of relative motion in the context of the Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP). The natural dynamics of relative motion are presented in their full nonlinear form. Motivated by the desire to apply linear control methods, the dynamics equations are linearized and presented in state-space form. The stability properties are explored for regions in proximity to each of the libration points in the Earth/Moon - Sun rotating frame. The dynamics of relative motion are presented in both the inertial and rotating coordinate frames.
