MANGALYAAN SLINGSHOT

Senior Physics: Slingshot past the Moon into Mars Orbit!

🇮🇳 ISRO Mars Orbiter Trick:
Instead of a super heavy rocket, ISRO used Earth & Moon's gravity assist (slingshot) to accelerate Mangalyaan to Mars with very little fuel!

🎯 Goal: Adjust Velocity and Angle so the satellite swings around the Moon and reaches the Red Mars Target.
