transfer orbit

A transfer ellipse, also called a transfer orbit, is the path followed by a body moving from one elliptical orbit to another. The tangential ellipse is tangent to the arrival and departure orbits and uses te least energy. Transfer ellipses interseting the arrival and departure at higher angles use more energy but may be advantageous in other ways.
