Parking orbit

A parking orbit is a temporary orbit used during the launch of a satellite or other space probe. A launch vehicle boosts into the parking orbit, then coasts for a while, then fires again to enter the final desired trajectory. The alternative to a parking orbit is direct injection, where the rocket fires continuously until its fuel is exhausted, ending with the payload on the final trajectory. Parking orbit for one of the early Ranger missions to the moon. Note that the launch angle varies depending on the launch time within the launch window.
