We show that there exists a new class of symmetric periodic solutions of the spatial elliptic restricted three-body problem.In such a solution,the infinitesimal body is confined to the vicinity of a primary and moves on a nearly circular orbit.This orbit is almost perpendicular to the orbital plane of the pri-maries,where the line of symmetry of the orbit lies.The existence is shown by applying a corollary of Arenstorf's fixed point theorem to s periodicity equation system of the problem.And this existence doesn't require any restriction on the mass ratio of the primaries,nor on the eccentricity of their rela-tive elliptic orbit.Potential relevance of this new class of periodic solutions to real celestial body sys-tems and the follow-up studies in this respect are also discussed.
