This article deals with the problem of computing energy-minimal trajectories between the invariant manifolds in the neighborhood of the equilibrium point $L_1$ of the restricted 3-body problem. Initializing a simple shooting method with solutions of the corresponding linear optimal control problem, we numerically compute energy-minimal extremals from the Pontryagin's Maximum principle, whose optimality is ensured thanks to the second order optimality condition.
