Sentence examples for using the gravity of from inspiring English sources

Voyager owed its existence as well to luck — a once-every-176-year alignment of the outer planets that made it feasible for a single spacecraft to visit them all on one long excursion through the icy darkness, using the gravity of one planet to slingshot itself to the next, a technique conceived in 1961 by a U.C.L.A. graduate student.

They watched the launch back in March 2004 and then waited as Rosetta was sent on a long trek through space to allow it to pick up speed, orbiting the Sun five times and using the gravity of Earth and Mars to accelerate to catch up with 67P.

Since its launch in 2004, ESA has used the gravity of Earth and Mars like a slingshot to accelerate the orbiter into the comet's trajectory.

The paper raises the question of whether alien races could have used the gravity of stars to "slingshot" probes in order to gain speed: a technique humans already use for probes, such as the Voyager.

In a series of fly-pasts, the probe used the gravity of the Earth and Mars to increase its speed during the six billion km chase.

The spacecraft would use the gravity of the gas giant to initiate a series of close flybys around Callisto, Europa, and then finally to put itself in a settled orbit around Ganymede.

The spacecraft would use the gravity of Jupiter to initiate a series of close fly-bys around Callisto and Europa, and then finally to put itself in a settled orbit around Ganymede.

Putting a space probe near it so that you can use the gravity of the probe to pull on the asteroid and given enough time, as wacky as that sounds, that will actually work.

He also sings in an English accent which flies past corny, shoots through dumb, then uses the gravity of gay to slingshot it back into I guess this is all right.

The spacecraft used the gravity of Venus to adjust its orbital velocity so that it could approach Mercury, making it both the first spacecraft to use this gravitational "slingshot" effect and the first NASA mission to visit multiple planets.

Parameters a and b were optimized by employing Eq. (3) for generating a synthetic population of commuters such that the resulting probability density function of travel distances matches that obtained by using the gravity model of Eq. (1).
