Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Plot of Voyager 2's heliocentric velocity against its distance from the sun, illustrating the effect of gravity assist, i.e. the use of Jupiter’s, Saturn’s and Uranus’s gravity to accelerate the spacecraft. To observe Triton, Voyager 2 passed over Neptune's north pole resulting in an acceleration out of the plane of the ecliptic and reduced velocity away from the sun.[1]
Deutsch: Darstellung der heliozentrischen Geschwindigkeit von Voyager 2 im Vergleich zum Abstand zur Sonne. Deutlich zu sehen ist der Swing-By-Effekt, bei dem die Gravitation von Jupiter, Saturn und Uranus das Raumschiff beschleunigt. Um den Mond Triton zu erforschen, machte Voyager 2 einen Abstecher über Neptuns Nordpol, was eine Beschleunigung aus der Ekliptik-Ebene heraus erforderte und somit die Geschwindigkeit von der Sonne weg verringerte.
