Cassinin reitti on tuollainen siksi että sillä piti päästä kahden ison planeetan luon samalla kertaa.
No ei vaan siksi, että tuo touhu ei ole suoraan pisteestä A pisteeseen B lentelyä kuten ilmailu maassa.
.....
Tässä koko keskustelussa ollaan alun alkaen täysin hakoteillä, kun kuvitellaan kahden planeetan ratojen etäisyyden olevan se matkaetäisyys. Tai jos ajatellaan jonkun tietyn nopeuden olevan sen koko matkan keskinopeus.
Tai täysin utopistisia nopeuksia, joita ei millään nykytekniikalla voida saavuttaa edes luotaimille.

Mars reconnaissance orbiterin matka marsiin vei 7,5kk. Nopeus oli jonkinverran pakonopeuden yläpuolella atlaksen viimeisen vaiheen sammuttua. Luotaimen saavuttua marsiin nopeus oli enään 2,9km/sek. Silti nopeutta piti pudottaa poltolla kilometri sekunnissa marsin kiertoradan saavuttamiseksi.

...miten laskeudut sinne...?
Hyvä winsu..mollaa vaan...mutta Helios II liikkuu/lentää edelleen 70 km/s !
What made the Helios missions so unusual was that the two craft made incredibly close passes to the Sun resulting in very high orbital speeds. These high speeds resulted from the fact that both probes were placed into very elliptical, or eccentric, orbits around the Sun. When a probe is placed into a circular orbit, its speed remains a constant. For example, the Space Shuttle orbits the Earth in a circular or nearly circular orbit at a constant speed of between 17,000 and 18,000 mph (27,355 to 28,960 km/h). When in a highly elliptical orbit, however, a vehicle will reach very high speed when it is close to the body it is orbiting but slow down considerably when it is far away.
The Helios missions both orbited in this manner, with a furthest distance (or aphelion) of nearly 1 Astronomical Unit (AU), which is the distance at which the Earth orbits the Sun. Meanwhile, the closest approach (or perihelion) of the Helios probes was about 0.3 AU. The eccentricity of such an orbit is about 0.54 with a period of about 190 days. The maximum speed of Helios 2, which achieved its perihelion distance of 0.29 AU on 17 April 1976, is quoted as about 150,000 mph (241,350 km/h). By applying some simple equations of orbital mechanics, we can confirm that such an orbit would indeed result in a perihelion velocity of 153,800 mph (247,510 km/h). For comparison, the aphelion speed of Helios 2 turns out to be only 45,360 mph (72,985 km/h) at its farthest distance of 0.983 AU. This massive differential between the vehicle's maximum and minimum speeds graphically illustrates how much an elliptical orbit varies from the circular orbit discussed earlier.
Joo ymmärrän myös että winsu on jossain määrin perehtynyt asiaan tai omaa kiinnostusta siihen. Olen kuitenkin edelleen sitä mieltä että Helios II huippunopeus on 70 km/s ! Winsu väitti aiemmin että tällaiset nopeudet ovat luotaimille mahdottomia.
New Horizons is often given the title of Fastest Spacecraft Ever Launched, although the Helios probes are arguably the holders of that title as a result of speed gained while falling toward the Sun. New Horizons, however, achieved the highest launch velocity and thus left Earth faster than any other spacecraft to date. It is also the first spacecraft launched directly into a solar escape trajectory, which requires an approximate velocity of 16.5 km/s (59,000 km/h; 37,000 mph), plus losses, all to be provided by the launcher. However, it will not be the fastest spacecraft to leave the Solar System. This record is held by Voyager 1, currently travelling at 17.145 km/s (61,720 km/h; 38,350 mph) relative to the Sun. Voyager 1 attained greater hyperbolic excess velocity from Jupiter and Saturn gravitational slingshots than New Horizons. Other spacecraft, such as Helios 1 & 2, can also be measured as the fastest objects, due to their orbital velocity relative to the Sun at perihelion. However, because they remain in solar orbit, their orbital energy relative to the Sun is lower than the five probes, and three other third-stages on hyperbolic trajectories, including New Horizons, that have achieved solar escape velocity, as the Sun has a much deeper gravitational well than Earth.
1.2 miljardin kilometrin päässä olevalle planeetalle kestää silti vaikka ajaisi 45 km/s vauhtia niin tollaset 308 päivää sivu.
