The 25 pages that link to Gravity assist, each with the reason it gives.

• Gravitational potentialRelated: Potential energy helps track spacecraft speed changes during close planetary encounters.

• Voyager 1Related: Jupiter and Saturn shaped Voyager 1's trajectory without requiring large amounts of onboard propellant.

• Cassini–HuygensRelated: Planetary flybys shaped Cassini’s route to Saturn and its later orbital paths.

• Voyager 2Related: Voyager 2 used planetary flybys to gain energy and reach successive outer planets.

• Voyager programRelated: Planetary flybys supplied the momentum needed to reach distant targets.

• New HorizonsRelated: A Jupiter flyby increased New Horizons’ speed toward Pluto.

• Galileo (spacecraft)Related: Galileo used planetary flybys to gain the velocity needed to reach Jupiter.

• Hyperbolic trajectoryRelated: A flyby follows a hyperbolic path relative to the body and can redirect spacecraft.

• PeriapsisRelated: The closest-approach point governs the geometry of the encounter.

• Pioneer 10Related: Jupiter’s gravity redirected Pioneer 10 onto an escape trajectory from the Solar System.

• Orbital energyRelated: A flyby changes heliocentric orbital energy while approximately preserving energy in the body's frame.

• Pioneer 11Related: Pioneer 11 used Jupiter’s gravity to redirect its path toward Saturn.

• Luna 3Related: The Moon's gravity redirected Luna 3 onto a return path toward Earth.

• Pioneer programRelated: Pioneer 10 and 11 used planetary encounters to redirect their journeys through the outer solar system.
