Evolution of allowable regions on the surface of the asteroid caused by three collisions. The value of C0 = −0.1377 J kg−1 corresponds to the Jacobi integral of the particle at the initial moment, whereas C1 = −0.1381 J kg−1 C2 = −0.1384 J kg−1 and C3 = −0.1387 J kg−1 correspond to its Jacobi integral after three collisions, respectively. The semi-transparent gray surface represents the zero-velocity surface, and the yellow line represents the intersection of the zero-velocity surface and the asteroid surface. The red region corresponds to the unstable region. Regions protruding out of the zero-velocity surface and encompassed by yellow lines indicate the allowable regions on the surface of the asteroid.
