Abstract
In this paper we investigate the influence of the light pressure on the motion stability of near-Earth space objects whose orbital semi-major axes change from 8000 to 42400 km. The orbital evolution of each object with area-to-mass ratio in the range from 1 to 70 m2/kg has been considered. In addition, values of the area-tomass ratio have been investigated at which the objects from various zones of the near-Earth space depart from their orbits under the influence of the light pressure and then fall to the Earth.
