abstract = "Asteroids are ideal targets for space missions because they
possibly carry information about the origin of the solar system.
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.",
