Distant retrograde orbits (DRO) are well-known trajectory types in cislunar space, such orbits have long-term stability and low insertion cost. In cislunar space, DRO are well-known trajectory types with minimal insertion costs and long-term stability. A cislunar station deployed on DRO might be expected to deliver a crew to the moon or Mars for exploration missions in the future. For low-energy transfer from Earth into DRO, the maximum delivery mass can be achieved by utilizing a weak stability boundary (WSB) and multiple lunar gravity assist (LGA) simultaneously, but this kind of transfer is very sensitive to initial values. A novel two-level pseudo-arc continuation method was proposed to explore local solution space, and this paper aims to improve both computational and transfer efficiency when leveraging hybrid gravity assist in cislunar space. Additionally, a modified problem description with an analytical gradient is used to improve multiple shooting efficiency under a bicircular restricted four-body problem. In the numerical simulation, the minimum cost solution shows “LGA+WSB+2LGA”, where the time of flight is 123 days, the LEO launching cost is 3.125 km/s and the 2:1 DRO insertion maneuver only needs 19.7 m/s.
