Hyperbolic Trajectory

Estimate hyperbolic escape and flyby geometry from central-body gravity, periapsis radius, and v-infinity.
C3
10.24 km²/s²
V∞ 3.20 km/s
Periapsis Speed
11.385 km/s
escape 10.926 km/s
Turn Angle
117.20°
e = 1.1716
Impact Parameter
23759 km
a = -38926 km
Positive orbital energy gives V∞
Higher v-infinity increases C3 and eccentricity, which reduces the achievable gravity-assist bending angle.
Eccentricity
1.1716
Semi-major axis
-38926 km
V∞
3.20 km/s
Vp
11.38 km/s
