Which of these in-plane transfers is used to transfer the satellite between the circular coplanar orbits using an elliptical transfer orbit?

A)
Bi-elliptical transfer
B)
Phasing maneuver
C)
One-tangent transfer
D)
Hohmann transfer

Correct Answer :   Hohmann transfer


Explanation : The transfer between two circular coplanar orbits is carries out using Hohmann transfer. It is a way of moving the satellite to a high-altitude orbit from the parking orbit or the other way round. The transfer takes place using a transfer elliptical orbit in the same plane.
