Orbital maneuvering refers to the process of changing the trajectory or orbit of a spacecraft. This is achieved using onboard propulsion systems that can adjust the spacecraft's speed and direction. Such maneuvers are essential for tasks like entering a stable orbit, rendezvousing with other spacecraft, or returning to Earth. These maneuvers are often planned carefully to ensure fuel efficiency and mission success. For example, spacecraft like the Space Shuttle or International Space Station frequently perform orbital maneuvers to maintain their positions or adjust their orbits for docking and other operations.
