The purpose of this work is to show that using the hyperbolic network around L1, the diversity of transfer options to the Distant Retrograde Orbits (DROs) in the Sun‐Earth Planar Circular Restricted Three Body Problem can be increased. In contrast to previous works, the current paper will concentrate on the range of smallest available DROs. The attractiveness of the transfer options to these orbits will be revealed by including the stable manifolds of the Horizontal Lyapunov Orbits (HLOs) as a part of the transfer path. It will become clear that for a large range of DROs, lower ΔV budgets and/or far lower travel times are achievable.
