Question:medium

In space dynamics, which of the following manoeuvre is an out-of-plane manoeuvre?

Show Hint

Examples of orbital manoeuvres: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Tangential burn} &\rightarrow \text{Changes semi-major axis} \text{Radial burn} &\rightarrow \text{Changes eccentricity} \text{Normal burn} &\rightarrow \text{Changes inclination} \end{aligned} } \]
