                         of spacecrafts orbiting binary asteroid systems. The binary system 
                         is modeled using different assumptions, from two point masses to 
                         full irregular bodies, showing the impact of the irregular gravity 
                         field in the lifetime of the orbits. The initial orbit of the 
                         spacecraft is defined by the three classical Keplerian elements: 
                         semi-major axis, eccentricity and inclination, while the other 
                         elements are assumed to be zero. The equations of motion are 
                         derived from the Lagrange Equations. This paper maps the orbits by 
                         measuring their lifetime before a collision with an asteroid or 
                         before the escape from system.",
