The present investigation of the dynamical behavior of the planar case for a small asteroidal satellite, which rotates around a principal axis of inertia of a strongly triaxial primary, gives attention to an ellipsoidal primary. The Poincare surfaces-of-sections method is used to display the results of numerical integration experiments. A substantial chaotic zone is noted to appear near the 1/1 resonance between the rotation period of the primary and the orbital period of the satellite. The most suitable orbits for an asteroid/comet artificial satellite which avoid strongly chaotic behavior are identified.
