Orbital station-keeping refers to the various maneuvers and methods used to maintain a spacecraft's orbit within desired parameters over time. This is crucial for satellites, space stations, and other payloads in orbit, as their orbits can be influenced by various factors such as gravitational forces from the Earth and other celestial bodies, atmospheric drag (especially for low Earth orbits), and solar radiation pressure.
