Scientific paper

We are investigating the close orbital motion of a spacecraft around a cometary nucleus in view of the ROSETTA Mission. The nucleus is modelled by mascons--a distribution of point masses in a tridimensional grid--in order to simulate the complex gravitational field of a fast-rotating irregular-shaped body. The solar tidal force and the solar radiation pressure are taken into account.
