The Lunar L1 and L2 libration points have been proposed as gateways granting inexpensive access to interplanetary space. To date, only individual solutions to the transfer between three-body systems have been found. The methodology to solve the problem for arbitrary three-body systems and entire families of orbits does not exist. This paper presents the initial approaches to solve the general problem for single and multiple impulse transfers. Two different methods of representing and storing 7-dimensional invariant manifold data are presented. Some particular solutions are presented for the transfer problem, though the emphasis is on developing methodology for solving the general problem.
