Rideshares increase launch capabilities and decrease the launch costs. However, the range of orbits available for secondary payloads is dependent on launch constraints for the primary mission. Additionally, communications constraints and limited propellant options must be incorporated in the preliminary mission design strategy for secondary payloads. Ridesharing opportunities are now available for orbit destinations beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO). In this investigation, transfers from Geosynchronous Transfer Orbits (GTO) to Sun-Earth libration point orbits are constructed by leveraging stable manifold structures and Poincaré maps.
