Shoot the Moon
In 1991, the Japanese Hiten mission used a low energy transfer with a ballistic capture at the Moon which required less delta V than a standard Hohmann transfer to the Moon.

Halo Orbit Mission Correction Maneuvers Using Optimal Control
This paper addresses the computation of the required trajectory correction maneuvers (TCM) for a halo orbit space mission to compensate for the launch velocity errors introduced by inaccuracies of the launch vehicle.

The Genesis Trajectory and Heteroclinic Cycles
The Genesis Mission will be NASA's first robotic sample return mission. The purpose of this mission is to collect solar wind samples for two years in L1 halo orbit and return it to the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) for mid-air retrieval by helicopters.
