Is "Suprasynchronous transfer orbit" correct?

[edit]

The "Suprasynchronous transfer orbit" line links here - to a paragraph that refers to a supersynchronous (not suprasynchrorous) transfer orbit. Googling "suprasynchronous transfer orbit" produces no results - other than this Wikipedia disambiguation page, and copies of it. Should it be changed to "Supersynchronous transfer orbit" instead (and perhaps also linked to Supersynchronous orbit, rather than to the TESS page)?

Non-Hohmann transfer orbits

[edit]

I've worked out the math for non-Hohmann transfer orbits having one endpoint, departure or arrival, at one of the transfer orbit's apsides. (Hohmann transfer orbits have both endpoints of the intended trajectory coinciding with a transfer orbit apside.) You can find the exposition as the featured post on the MeWe group for Mathematical Astronomy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.15.29.82 (talk) 15:56, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
