We applied small tangential impulses due to motor thrusts at peri-apse and apo-apse perpendicular to major axis of the elliptic orbits. Our aim is to obtain a precise final orbit stemming from an initial orbit. We executed these tangential correctional velocities to all the four feasible configurations. The correctional increments of velocities ΔvA & ΔvB at the points A, B for the Hohmann transfer and at the points A, B, C for the Bi-Elliptic transfer induce the precise final orbit. Throughout the treatment we encounter relationships for both cases of transfer that describe the alteration in major axes and eccentricities due to these motor thrusts supplied by a rocket. The whole theory is a correctional improvement process.
