Optimal two-pulse flights from a circular near-earth orbit onto an asymptotic trajectory which leads to a libration point $L_2$ are examined within a limited circular problem of three bodies. A method of many conical cross sections and Louden's base vector theory were used in building the pulsed trajectories. The minimal energy expenditures correspond to a 77-hour flight. The total expenditures are 3468.3 m/sec for this flight.
