	<span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Evolution of periodic
orbits in Sun-Mars and Sun-Earth systems are analyzed using <span>Poincare surface of section technique and the
effects of solar radiation pressure of</span> <span>bigger
primary and actual oblateness</span><span> of
smaller primary on these orbits are</span> considered. <span>It is observed that solar radiation pressure</span> 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 <span>due
to solar radiation pressure has to be understood and should be taken care of</span> <span>during trajectory design. It is also verified
that stability of such orbits are negligible</span> so they can be used as
transfer orbit. For each pair of solar radiation pressure <i>q</i> and Jacobi constant <i>C</i> we get two separatrices where stability of island becomes zero. In this paper</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> detailed stability
analysis of periodic orbit having two loops is given when <i>q</i> = 0.9845.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"></span>
