Abstract:
Maneuvers for the orbit's inclination change have especially energy consumption in astrodynamics. Of course — raising additional sources of energy for them at the expense of using gravity assist is a priority. Reputed as canonical evaluations of variation of inclination of the spacecraft’s orbital plane upon the gravity assist needed to be clarified. This paper presents the results of the corresponding calculations of the refined spatial evaluation of possible changes in the inclination of the spacecraft’s orbit during gravitational maneuvers near the planets of the Solar system. These design is demanded for the creating of modern ballistic scenarios for space missions to study the inner heliosphere from positions outside of ecliptic plane (the national mission "Interheliozond" also ESA mission "Solar Orbiter").
Keywords:celestial body, cranking gravity assist, angle of the infinity velocity rotation, high inclined heliocentric orbit.
