In astrodynamics orbit phasing is the adjustment of the time-position of spacecraft along its orbit, usually described as adjusting the orbiting spacecraft's true anomaly. This is predominantly used in satellite positioning, especially if the satellite is in geosynchronous orbit.[citation needed]
Orbit phasing is required for a successful approach to a space station in a docking maneuver.
