Planetary Flyby Dynamics

Planetary Flyby Dynamics is a theoretical framework in astrodynamics that models the gravitational interaction between a spacecraft and a celestial body during a close encounter, distinguishing itself by analyzing velocity vector changes and orbital energy modifications to enable precise trajectory design in gravity-assist maneuvers.
