The dynamical structure of the orbital element space of seven Kuiper Belt binary systems is studied by numerical methods in the model of the spatial elliptic restricted three‐body problem. It is shown that three systems have an extended region of stability where additional satellites could exist. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
