aerobraking
aerobraking The technique of using the atmospheric drag of a planet to modify the orbit of a spacecraft, thereby saving propellant. It was first used at another planet by the US Venus probe Magellan in 1993. Aerobraking lowered the high point of Magellan's orbit above Venus from 8500 to 600 km and shortened its orbital period from 195 to 94 min. Aerobraking can also be used to help space probes enter orbit around a planet, as with the Mars Global Surveyor craft in 1997.
