Low-Thrust chemical transfer makes use of consecutive burns at the apogee to reach final orbit.

Low-Thrust chemical transfer makes use of consecutive burns at the apogee to reach final orbit. Correct Answer False

The Low-Thrust chemical transfer executes sequential burns at the perigee then finally one burn at the apogee to reach the final higher orbit. In the figure, a small impulse is given at the initial circular orbit, thus raising its altitude. Following this there are multiple- burn maneuvers to keep raising the altitude sequentially after finally reaching the desired altitude.
