In this work, the final approach typical of a trajectory traveling from the last resonance of an endgame scenario in a tour down to a moon is examined within the context of invariant manifolds. Previous analyses have usually solved this problem either by using numerical techniques or by computing a catalog of suitable trajectories. The invariant manifolds of a selected set of libration orbits and unstable resonant orbits are computed here to serve as guides for desirable approach trajectories. The analysis focuses on designing an approach phase that may be tied into the final resonance in the endgame sequence while also targeting desired conditions at the moon. Presented as Paper AAS 2012-136 at the 22nd AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Charleston, SC, 29 January-2 February 2012
