Gravity Waltz
"How can I reach the icy rings
With the fuel that I bring
What I need is a planet's pull
And so shall we dance this Gravity Waltz"
Cassini doesn't have enough fuel
To make it to Saturn directly.
It heads deeper into the solar system
And does two close fly-by maneuvers by Venus,
Using its gravitational attraction to gain velocity.
The gravity sling sends the spacecraft
Back to Earth (August 17th, 1999)
Where it gains still more velocity
And travels past the orbit of Mars.
"How can I reach the icy rings
With the fuel that I bring
What I need is a planet's pull
And so shall we dance this Gravity Waltz"
With the fuel that I bring
What I need is a planet's pull
And so shall we dance this Gravity Waltz"
Cassini doesn't have enough fuel
To make it to Saturn directly.
It heads deeper into the solar system
And does two close fly-by maneuvers by Venus,
Using its gravitational attraction to gain velocity.
The gravity sling sends the spacecraft
Back to Earth (August 17th, 1999)
Where it gains still more velocity
And travels past the orbit of Mars.
"How can I reach the icy rings
With the fuel that I bring
What I need is a planet's pull
And so shall we dance this Gravity Waltz"
