Orbit Transfer Design

Orbit Transfer Design is a systematic methodology within astrodynamics that specifies the optimal sequence and execution of propulsive maneuvers to transition a spacecraft from an initial orbit to a target orbit, distinguished by its focus on efficiency metrics such as fuel consumption, transfer time, and operational constraints.
