Michael Andrew Minovitch (c. 1936 - 16 September 2022)[1] mathematician who developed gravity assist technique when he was a UCLA graduate student and working summers at NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory .[2] [3]
In 1961 Minovitch began using the fastest available computer at the time, the IBM 7090 , to solve the three-body problem . He ran simulations and developed his own solution by 1962.[1]
The first mission to use a gravity assist was Pioneer 10 , which increased its velocity from 52,000 km/h to 132,000 km/h as it passed by Jupiter in December, 1973.[4] [5]
Minovitch patented a vehicle for space travel under the patent title Magnetic propulsion system and operating method , US Patent 6193194 B1.
