                         This work aims to study the de-orbiting of a spacecraft in the 
                         direction of the central body of the triple asteroid 2001NS263 
                         (target of the Brazilian mission called Aster) using only solar 
                         radiation pressure. The solar radiation pressure is controlled by 
                         changing physical characteristics of the spacecraft, like the 
                         ratio area-to-mass and the coefficient of reflectivity. The impact 
                         of the spacecraft, at the end of the mission, could reveal details 
                         about the composition of this asteroid.",
