Date: September 25th, 2026 9:36 PM Author: Salmon vibrant chapel deer antler that's just basic celestial motion stuff. flinging a craft from earth means it inherits the earth's directional energy. it takes a lot of energy for a craft to break out of the plane of the ecliptic. it takes gravity assists.
there were plans back in the 1970's to do some zany jovian/solar assists that would fling spacecraft voyager-style out of the solar system at very high speed, both 'over' and 'under' the solar plane, but they weren't funded. |

Date: September 25th, 2026 10:26 PM Author: Salmon vibrant chapel deer antler there have been solar orbits, but the 1970's plans were designed to send the probes out into space and probe the edges of the heliopause in the same way the voyager program did along the ecliptic plane. not just to swing around in a circle. it was supposed to be a series of gravity-assist orbits around massive solar system objects like jupiter, followed by a final release into open space.
