                         decelerate a spacecraft to insert it into a desired orbit, to keep 
                         it captured or just to slow down its passage for a better 
                         observation of the body. This maneuver aims to take advantage of 
                         the gravity of the body where the close encounter is made with the 
                         combination of an impulse applied in some point of the orbit to 
                         modify its parameters, among them the energy. The analysis of the 
                         loss of the energy of the spacecraft after the maneuver and the 
                         best configurations to reach this objective is presented in this 
                         work. The study is made for a system whose primary bodies are in 
                         elliptical orbit. Regarding the impulse, its direction and points 
                         of application are free parameters to get the most from the 
                         maneuver.",
