A method for finding homoclinic and heteroclinic connections among Lyapunov orbits using invariant manifolds in a given energy surface of the planar restricted circular three-body problem is developed. The application of the method to a range of Jacobi constants provides a classification of the connections in bifurcation families. The models studied correspond to the Sun-Earth and Earth-Moon cases.
