                         planar orbits for a spacecraft traveling near Phobos. The first 
                         step is to make a numerical search and classification of natural 
                         orbits based in the concept of Quasi Satellite Orbits (QSO). The 
                         effects of the eccentricity of Phobos and the irregular shape of 
                         the bodies involved (Mars and Phobos) are studied, identifying the 
                         importance of these terms. This study is made using two different 
                         initial locations for Phobos, the periapsis and apoapsis. The 
                         results show the existence of several solutions, mapping the 
                         minimum, maximum and averaged Phobos-spacecraft distances.

                         ´orbitas planas intermedias para naves espaciales que viajan cerca 
                         de Phobos. El primer paso es una b´usqueda num´erica y 
                         clasificaci´on de las ´orbitas naturales basada en el concepto de 
                         las ´orbitas cuasi satelitales (QSOs). Se estudian los efectos de 
                         la excentricidad de Phobos y de la forma irregular de Phobos y 
                         Marte, y se identifica la importancia de los t´erminos 
                         correspondientes. Se emplean dos posiciones iniciales diferentes 
                         para Phobos, el periapsis y el apoapsis. Los resultados muestran 
                         la existencia de varias soluciones que mapean las distancias
