Summary
A
Bi-elliptic Transfer
is an
Orbital Maneuver
that involves two
Elliptical transfer orbits
to
Change the orbit of a spacecraft
, often resulting in a lower
Delta-v requirement
compared to a
Hohmann transfer
for
Large orbital changes
. This method is particularly advantageous for
Missions requiring significant increases in orbital altitude
, though it typically takes more
Time to complete
.
