Abstract.For a stabilizable linear system, the minimum energy problem to steer the initial state to the origin asymptotically is considered, where the energy is understood in the ${\cal L}_2$ sense. The infimum is obtained in terms of the maximal solution of a singular Riccati equation, and suboptimal feedback controllers are designed. As an application, a circular restricted three-body (Earth-Moon-spacecraft) problem is considered, and the Halo orbit transfer near the $ L_2$ Lagrangian point is discussed.
