We finish with perhaps one of the most challenging dynamical environments that can be encountered. That of a planetary satellite which has a strongly non-spherical shape. The prototypical examples of such satellites are the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. These bodies are also of significant scientific interest, if for no other reason than their formation and subsequent evolution persists as a significant scientific mystery. These bodies exist in a dynamical environment where both the strong tidal perturbations from the planet and their own non-spheroidal gravity fields combine to place stringent limits on feasible orbital operations at these bodies.
