An orbital maneuver apparatus includes a fluid supply arrangement, a main body, an actuation head, and a nozzle assembly. The main body includes an outer housing, an inner housing mounted in the outer housing such that the inner housing is arranged to rotate about a longitudinal direction of the main body, wherein the fluid supply tube extends in the inner housing of the main body and is stationary with respect to the outer housing. The actuation head is connected to the inner housing of the main body to rotate along with the inner housing. The nozzle assembly includes a first nozzle head and a second nozzle head which are in fluid communication with the fluid supply arrangement, and are both movably supported in the actuation cavity and are arranged to rotate correspondingly with the actuation head, and to further rotate about a transverse direction of the main body.
