Animation of the Mariner 10 robotic space probe passing by the planet Venus. It made this encounter on 5th February 1974, passing within 6000 kilometres and using the planet's gravity to change its heading to allow it to pass by the inner planet Mercury. It was the first spacecraft to perform this gravitational slingshot"" manoeuvre, which is now widely used by interplanetary craft. Mariner 10 made three passes of Mercury between March 1974 and March 1975, mapping nearly half the surface." | |
