Abstract
⺠Quasi-stable orbits of spacecraft around the MarcoPolo-R primary target asteroid 1996 FG3 are found. ⺠Conditions of mapping phase are studied. ⺠The orbital plane of such orbits is maintained perpendicular to the solar radiation. ⺠Stable orbits are shifted up to 1 km away from the sun. ⺠The secondary asteroid of 1996 FG3 has only a minor influence on orbital stability.
