The use of friction against a planet's atmosphere to slow a spacecraft for insertion into orbit. 3, record 2, English, - aerocapture
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Aerocapture is the technique by which the Martian atmosphere slows down an incoming spacecraft to attain orbit. Instead of braking a spacecraft using conventional thrusters, the thin Martian atmosphere can be used to change the course of the spacecraft into a hyperbolic trajectory encircling the planet. A related process called aerobraking uses atmospheric drag to slow down a vehicle for landing. The most notable example of aerobraking application is the Mars Pathfinder probe. 4, record 2, English, - aerocapture

L'idée du principe des micromissions a en fait découlé d'une observation : il suffit d'une très faible accélération à un satellite placé sur une orbite de transfert géostationnaire pour atteindre une planète comme Mars, Vénus ou simplement notre lune (l'incrément de vitesse à appliquer à un satellite n'est que de 1,4 km/s seulement dans le cas de Mars). 4, record 6, French, - incr%C3%A9ment%20de%20vitesse
