contents Recent findings on retrograde co-orbital mean-motion resonances in the Earth-Moon system, highlight the potential use of spacecraft in retrograde resonances. Based on these discoveries, this study investigates retrograde co-orbital resonances within the Earth-Moon system, focusing on both optimal and sub-optimal orbital transfers to such configurations. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of retrograde co-orbital resonances, optimization techniques to evaluate and enhance the performance of bi-impulsive transfers to these configurations. The results reveal the feasibility of low-cost transfers, which could support a range of future missions, including space exploration and satellite deployment. Combining advanced optimization processes, we obtained solutions for orbital transfers for different arrival points in retrograde co-orbitals improving mission efficiency and offering a cost-effective approach to interplanetary exploration.
