The general idea of this paper is to study the effect of mass variation of a test particle on periodic orbits in the restricted three-body model. In the circular restricted three-body problem (cr3bp), two bigger bodies (known as primary and secondary or sometime only primaries) are placed at either side of the origin on abscissa while moving in circular orbits around their common center of mass (here origin), while the third body (known as smallest body or infinitesimal body or test particle) is moving in space and varies its mass according to Jeans law. Using the Lindstedt–Poincaré method, we determine equations of motion and their solutions under various perturbations. The time-series and halo orbits around one of the collinear critical points of this model are drawn under the effects of the solar radiation pressure of the primary and the oblateness of the secondary. In general, these two dynamical properties are symmetrical.
