Suppose a spacecraft approaches Jupiter on a Hohmann transfer ellipse from earth. If the spacecraft flies by Jupiter at an altitude of 200,000 km on the sunlit side of the planet, determine the orbital elements of the postflyby trajectory and the delta-v imparted to the spacecraft by Jupiter's gravity. Assume that all the orbits lie in the same (ecliptic) plane. {Ans.: AV = 10.6 km/s, a = 4.79(10) km, e = 0.8453} Suppose a spacecraft approaches Jupiter on a Hohmann transfer ellipse from earth.
