Scientific paper

This paper describes how lunar and planetary gravity assists have been used to design trajectories that have enabled challenging missions, currently flying or in development at the Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), to explore the Sun, and the planets closest to and farthest from it. This is a continuation of the paper, ``Recent Gravity-Assist Trajectories for Interplanetary and Solar Exploration'' presented at the second ``New Trends in Astrodynamics and Applications'' conference in July 2005. That paper concentrated on MESSENGER, New Horizons, and the early work on STEREO, emphasizing the ground-breaking orbits that those spacecraft used to accomplish their ambitious goals. This paper gives the current status of those missions, which are now all flying, en route to their targets, especially the newly-launched STEREO mission.
