aerobraking's Usage Examples:

The relatively high gravity and lack of lunar atmosphere negates the use of aerobraking, so a lander must use propulsion to decelerate and.

In November 2006, after five months of aerobraking, it entered its final science orbit and began its primary science phase.

plan was for the spacecraft to launch in 1987 and to use aerobraking to circularize its orbit, whereupon it would be able to generate radar coverage of the.

While aerocapture is used for inserting a spacecraft into orbit from a hyperbolic trajectory, aerobraking is used for reducing the apoapsis of a spacecraft that is already in orbit.

After the ninth lunar swing-by and second aerobraking maneuver on March 30, 1991.

orbit-lowering manoeuvres by a combination of chemical propulsion and aerobraking, with final operation at an altitude below 180 km.

By 1981, the plan was for the spacecraft to launch in 1987 and to use aerobraking to circularize its orbit, whereupon it would be able to generate radar.

A study showed that using aerocapture over the next best method (propellant burn and aerobraking) would allow for a significant increase in scientific payload for missions ranging from Venus (79% increase) to Titan (280% increase) and Neptune (832% increase).

Aerocapture was originally planned for the Mars Odyssey orbiter, but later changed to aerobraking for reasons of cost and commonality with other missions.

“capture orbit” and only later the apocenter can be lowered with further decelerations, or even using the atmospheric drag in a controlled way, called aerobraking.

Upper Stage booster for launching, and the first spacecraft to test aerobraking as a method for circularizing its orbit.

In the late 1990s, aerocapture was consideredfor the Mars Odyssey mission (then referred to as Mars 2001 Surveyor), but was laterdropped in favor of aerobraking due to cost reasons and heritage with other Marsmissions.

In modern terminology, aerobraking refers to a different aeroassist maneuver and is not to be confused with aerocapture.
