In the circular plane restricted three-body problem, we study the stable large retrograde non-periodic satellite orbits. We use rotating axes with the origin in the body around which turns the satellite, called its primary. We choose the initial conditions such as Yo=0 and Uo=0, so that an orbit can be represented by a point in the (Xo,Vo) plane. In this plane, the set of stable orbits is represented by a limited region, which we call the stability zone. This zone is composed in general by a large continental region, approximately limited by Lagrange points, and a peninsula more or less elongated.
