abstract = "Due to some interesting physical and orbital characteristics of
Phobos and Deimos, satellites of Mars, research involving these
moons has grown. These moons have a highly irregular shape and
their orbits are close to Mars. In addition, Phobos and Deimos
have a high potential to provide important information about the
evolution of the Mars system as well as to contribute to a future
manned mission to Mars. There have been some attempts to visit
Phobos, none of them successfully and, to this day, no mission has
been sent to Deimos. This work presents a detailed study of the
main perturbations capable of altering the orbit of a spacecraft
that orbits Mars, Phobos and Deimos, in order to understand the
dynamics of spacecraft movement in the proximity of such bodies
and seek cases where it is possible to find stable or near stable
orbits around Phobos and Deimos for the maximum possible time.
Strategic trajectories are presented that allow the spacecraft to
visit both moons on a regular cadence, to approach or to cover the
moons. All trajectory simulations are performed using the
Spacecraft Trajectory Simulator (STRS). The considered
perturbations on the orbital motion of the spacecraft are: the
gravitational potential of Mars, expanded in spherical harmonics
up to degree and order 80, the gravitational attraction of the
Sun, the gravitational potential of Phobos and Deimos and the
solar radiation pressure. For the perturbations due to Phobos and
Deimos is used a polyhedral model to define the shape and mass
distribution of these bodies.",
