Abstract This paper demonstrates the usage of artificial neural networks (ANN) to identify heteroclinic connections in astrodynamical systems. The ANN architecture is applied to find heteroclinic connections, or lack thereof, in the Earth-Moon circular restricted three body problem from L 1 to L 2 Lyapunov orbits for Jacobi values between 3.07 and 3.17. The predicted heteroclinic connections are within 0.1–1% of the arclength along the periodic orbit from their true locations.

    Highlights Artificial neural networks can be used to Model periapse Poincaré maps. Design heteroclinic connections between L1 and L2 Lyapunov orbits. Obtained accuracy was 0.1–1.7% of the arclength along the periodic orbit.
