Abstract : Abstract - This paper presents the study of differential equations of Circular Restricted Three Body Problem(CR3BP) under DST. The study provides well known Lagrange points which can be further used to design periodic orbit around those points. These orbits are used to determine the asymptotic paths or manifolds, which leave or approach them. The new possibility resides when the manifolds are plotted between two Lagrange points (L1 and L2) for the sun-planet and planet-moon system throughout the solar system. The trajectory for connecting the overlapping of manifolds is determined using optimal thrust maneuvers considering minimum velocity change ΔV in transfer. Further, the design for the transfer trajectory in the interstellar medium and the dynamical properties of the interstellar medium have been addressed. A preliminary study of the Alpha Centauri-AB binary star system and the possible orbits around them were discussed. Keywords - Interplanetary Transport Network, Dynamical System Theory, Circular Restricted Three Body Problem, Lagrange Points, Invariant Manifolds, S-type Orbits.
