The two Helios approached closer to the Sun than Messenger, and may have a higher orbital velocity at perihelion.

The two Helios approached closer to the Sun than Messenger, and may have a higher orbital velocity at perihelion. Yes, Helios II should still hold the recordspeed of 252.792 km/h (70,2 km/s) at a minimum distance of 43,4 Millionen km from sun. This is about 0,0234% of the speed of light. So we are a bit far away from useful interstellar travel speeds... Bye. |
