The Historical Voyager 2 Mission to Jupiter. |
Trajectory is modelled as a 3 body problem, calculated from the dynamic vectors of position, velocity and gravity. |
Coordinate data is from NASA ephemerides (with respect to solar system barycenter). |
Jupiter start coordinates X: 0.8262
Y: 5.0206 AUs. |
Earth start coordinates X: 0.8578 Y: -0.5443 AUs, Journey Time : 688.2 days. |
This shows the orbit (in Green to Jupiter, then Blue on to Saturn), after escape from Earth. |
Mars distance from ship is always increasing from at least 0.5AU so its gravity is ignored. |
