Trans-lunar injection (TLI) is a maneuver used in spaceflight to send a spacecraft from low Earth orbit (LEO) on a trajectory toward the Moon. This maneuver involves firing the spacecraft's propulsion system at a specific point in its orbit around Earth, which changes its velocity and trajectory to escape Earth's gravitational influence and enter a path that intersects with the Moon's orbit.
