Riassunto
In this work the concept of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) is applied to the dynamical system of the Elliptic Restricted Three-body Problem. LCS are the generalization of invariant manifolds of the circular problem. They identify region of the phase space with different dynamical behavior. This can be exploited for preliminary design of low energy space missions. A software to compute and visualize LCS has been developed and the results were used to preliminarily design an interplanetary transfer to Jupiter.
