Abstract

In recent years, space missions with the destination of small solar system bodies have become more and more important. For missions to such kind of bodies, one of the biggest challenges comes from the perturbation on the spacecraft’s motion by the highly irregular gravitational field. Therefore the dynamical environment in the vicinity of these bodies needs to be characterized.
