We have studied closed periodic orbits with loops for two systems – Sun – Mars and Sun – Earth systems – using Poincare surface section (PSS) technique. Perturbation due to oblateness for the second primary (Mars or Earth) is taken in to consideration and obtained orbits with loops varying from one to five around both primaries. It is found that the oblateness coefficient A2 and Jacobi constant C has non- negligible effect on the position of the orbits. The model may be useful for designing space mission for low – energy trajectories.

AbstractThe existence of periodic orbits of the first kind using Delaunay’s canonical variables is established through analytic continuation in the planar restricted three-body problem when the more massive primary is an oblate spheroid with its equatorial plane coincident with the plane of motion.
