Como explorar Gravitational Slingshot 3D Explorer
Open the Gravitational Slingshot 3D Explorer, read the ~+10 km/s Voyager figure, and scrub periapsis while the craft flies the hyperbola.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/gravitational-slingshot.html and wait for the planet, green velocity arrow, and blue path.
- Read the facts panel: ~+10 km/s teaching delta-v and periapsis in R.
- Scrub Periapsis (R) to bend the flyby more or less.
- Scrub Flyby phase, or press Pause/Play flyby.
- Compare with Hohmann Transfer 3D when you need two burns instead of an assist.
Gravity assist key figures
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Voyager-Jupiter gravity assist | ~+10 km/s heliocentric gain |
| Flyby path | hyperbolic (single pass, no burn) |
