“…In particular, it is believed that those objects hold information about the chemical mixture which formed the planets, as well as records of the geological evolution of the minor bodies in the interplanetary regions. Many missions have the goal of exploring these bodies, like Belton et al, 1992Belton et al, , 1996Veverka et al, 2001;Yoshikawa et al, 2007;Jones et al, 2011;Huntress et al, 2006;Surovik and Scheeres, 2014;Broschart and Scheeres, 2005;Bellerose and Scheeres, 2008;Brum et al, 2011. Some other researches considered general trajectories around smaller bodies, which can be used in mission design of future missions to asteroids, like Werner, 1994;Rossi et al, 1999;Scheeres, 1994Scheeres, , 2012aScheeres and Hu, 2001; Bartczakk et al, 2006;Byram and Scheeres, 2009;Venditti and Prado, 2014. The present research is related to the mission named ASTER, that has some preliminary studies available in the literature Macau et al 2010).…”

Space missions to visit small bodies of the Solar System are important steps to improve our knowledge of the Solar System. Usually those bodies do not have well known characteristics, as their gravity field, which make the mission planning a difficult task. The present paper has the goal of studying orbits around the triple asteroid 2001SN 263 , a Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA). A mission to this system allows the exploration of three bodies in the same trip. The distances reached by the spacecraft from those three bodies have fundamental importance in the quality of their observations. Therefore, the present research has two main goals: (i) to develop a semi-analytical mathematical model, which is simple, but able to represent the main characteristics of that system; (ii) to use this model to find orbits for a spacecraft with the goal of remaining the maximum possible time near the three bodies of the system, without the need of space maneuvers. This model is called ''Precessing Inclined Bi-Elliptical Problem with Radiation Pressure" (PIBEPRP). The use of this model allow us to find important natural orbits for the exploration of one, two or even the three bodies of the system. These trajectories can be used individually or combined in two or more parts using orbital maneuvers.
