This article from JPL describes recent efforts to derive a main belt multi-asteroid mission trajectory...any of you orbitsmiths out there have some early thoughts/observations?

Has anyone gone back and looked at the Voyager paths through the asteroid belt? Did they plausibly get close to anything?
(keeping in mind the tremendous number of asteroids discovered since the 70s, is it most likely anything they got close to was unknown at the time?) |
