We end our sequence of chapters on dynamics dominated by the small-body gravity in isolation by focusing on the application of control maneuvers to enact hovering about a small body. This technique was applied during the Hayabusa mission to asteroid Itokawa, where the spacecraft maintained its location on the Sun-side of the asteroid by performing occasional thrusting maneuvers. For a small body this is a feasible set of operations as the necessary propellant to maintain a given distance can be quite small. This chapter draws from a number of different analyses of such motion [157, 151, 16, 17, 22] and only presents an introduction to the problem, leaving details to these other papers and for future work.
