In a mesmerizing turn of cosmic choreography, the confluence of heavenly bodies was responsible for the successful launch of two extraordinary spacecraft that may have, in other circumstances, been relegated to the annals of dashed hopes for space exploration. In this intriguing story, it wasn't the alignment of the stars that played a role in the plot; rather, it was the grandeur of the planets, which are the four greatest inhabitants of our solar system.
A tapestry of planetary arrangement that had not been seen since the time of Thomas Jefferson's presidency in the early 1800s started to unfold some sixty decades ago. This spectacle first unfolded undetected, but a sensitive mind eventually pulled back the curtain on this cosmic ballet. Gary Flandro, an up-and-coming aeronautics PhD student at the prestigious California Institute of Technology, was the owner of that brilliant intellect.
1965 was the year, and at this point in human history, humanity was just beginning to put foot on the shores of space exploration. It had been only eight years since the Soviet Union made history by launching Sputnik 1, the very first artificial satellite. In the midst of this dynamic era, Flandro, who was at the same time working part-time at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, was entrusted with the formidable task of deciphering the most effective route to dispatch a space probe towards the expansive realms of Jupiter, and possibly even further, to Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune. This assignment was given to Flandro while he was simultaneously employed part-time at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Flandro, armed with a basic yet precision-bearing instrument of 20th-century engineers, a pencil, methodically drew the labyrinthine paths of these huge planets, uncovering a mystery that paved the way for a paradigm change in interplanetary travel. Flandro's discovery paved the way for a paradigm shift in the way that interplanetary travel is conducted.Key FeaturesUncover the untold story of Gary Flandro, the brilliant mind behind NASA's groundbreaking discoveries.
