ABSTRACT:
In this paper we study the dynamics of a solar sail close to an
asteroid. We have taken the Elliptic Hill problem adding the SRP due
to the solar sail as a model. We first describe the dynamics of the
system when the eccentricity of the asteroid orbit is neglected. The
effect of the solar sail allows us to displace the Lagrangian points
L1 and L2 . Moreover, we will find families of of periodic orbits for
different sail orientations. Finally we will show how these invariant
objects vary when we include the effect of the eccentricity.
