[amsat-bb] fascinating - gravity math inaccurate, as shown by spacecraft

So-called "slingshot" maneuvers produce a tiny amount more speed than current known gravity models allow for... 4mm/sec... and the deep space and other probes that have used the maneuver have all seen the effect.

Unexplained little gravity phenomenon. Very interesting.
