Analysis of Effect of Solar Radiation Pressure of Bigger Primary on the Evolution of Periodic Orbits

摘要

Evolution of periodic orbits in Sun-Mars and Sun-Earth systems are analyzed using?Poincare surface of section technique and the effects of solar radiation pressure of?bigger primary and actual oblateness?of smaller primary on these orbits areconsidered.?It is observed that solar radiation pressure?of bigger primary has substantial effect on period, orbit’s shape, size and their position in the phase space. Since these orbits can be used for the design of low energy transfer trajectories, so perturbations?due to solar radiation pressure has to be understood and should be taken care of?during trajectory design. It is also verified that stability of such orbits are negligible?so they can be used as transfer orbit. For each pair of solar radiation pressure?q?and Jacobi constant?C?we get two separatrices where stability of island becomes zero. In this paper,?detailed stability analysis of periodic orbit having two loops is given when?q?= 0.9845.
