Question
On route to Eris, our experimental
payload requires a heliocentric velocity
of 25,000 m/s. The mission will employ
gravity assist from a flyby of Jupiter.
Assuming that the spacecraft propulsion
and initial maneuvers have allowed the
craft to reach 19,000 m/s relative
injection velocity, what approach angle
relative to the desired departure
trajectory is required?
Give your answer as an angle, in
degrees.
