Orbital Maneuvering System

The Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) refers to the propulsion technology used primarily in spacecraft to change their orbits or trajectory in space. It consists of engines that provide thrust when needed, allowing the spacecraft to perform tasks like entering or exiting orbit, correcting its path, or docking with other spacecraft. The OMS is crucial for missions requiring precise positioning, as it enables astronauts to maneuver effectively in the vacuum of space, ensuring they can successfully reach their intended destinations or return safely to Earth.
