A trans-lunar injection (TLI) is a propulsive maneuver, which is used to send a spacecraft to the Moon. Typical lunar transfer trajectories approximate Hohmann transfers, although low-energy transfers have also been used in some cases, as with the Hiten probe. For short duration missions without significant perturbations from sources outside the Earth-Moon system, a fast Hohmann transfer is typically more practical.

In spaceflight, an orbital maneuver is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft.
For spacecraft far from Earth an orbital maneuver is called a deep-space maneuver (DSM).
