Spacecraft capture trajectories to the periodic orbits of the L1 and L2 points in the restricted Hill three-body problem are studied. The specific focus is on transfer to these vicinities from interplanetary trajectories. This application is motivated by future proposals to place "Deep Space ports" at the Earth and Mars L1 or L2 points. These spaceports are considered as candidate gateways for interplanetary transfers in the future. We utilize stable manifolds for capture trajectories to periodic orbits around the libration points. As a result, the cost of capture into a periodic orbit is also reduced relative to direct capture into a parabolic orbit. The way of linking between interplanetary transfer trajectories and the stable manifold is also discussed.
