N2 - This study extends techniques developed in a previous study to single impulse transfers and transfers to quasi-periodic orbits. A single impulse transfer takes the spacecraft to the fringes of the stability region where it can reside for an extended period of time in a sticky orbit. These transfers are useful for spacecraft with no propulsive mechanism. The latter involves insertion into a sticky orbit before stabilizing maneuver into a quasi-periodic orbit within the stable distant retrograde region. These transfers have the benefit of delayed escape from the Earth region and fuel savings over comparable transfers to the central periodic orbit.
