  1. Planetary Grand Tour

    Otheruses2 Grand Tour Image Voyager Path.svg thumb The trajectories that enabled NASA s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft to tour the four gas giant planets and achieve velocity to escape our solar system. The Planetary Grand Tour was an ambitious plan to send unmanned probes to the planets of the outer solar system . Conceived by Gary Flandro of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the late 1960s, the Grand Tour would have exploited the alignment of Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , Neptune , and Pluto , an event that would occur in the late 1970s, and not recur for 175 years. A probe sent to Jupiter could use that planet as a gravitational slingshot to extend its trajectory to planets further out in the Solar System. The original proposed mission design had four probes. The first two, with proposed launch dates in 1976 and 1977, were to fly by Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. The other two, with proposed launch dates in 1979, were to fly by Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The vehicles were to have been designed with multiple redundant systems to ensure reliability over missions lasting up to 12 years. NASA budget cuts eventually doomed the Grand Tour missions in 1972, as well as later proposals for a mini grand tour . However, many elements of the Grand Tour were added to the Voyager program . The two Voyager probes, launched in 1977, were originally meant to fly by Jupiter and Saturn. The Voyager 2 mission used the fortunate alignments of the outer planets and was extended to include close flybys of both Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2 s mission has specifically come to be regarded as the Grand Tour. Voyager 1 could have been sent to Pluto after Saturn, but was instead sent on a trajectory which brought it close by Titan moon Titan , eliminating the Pluto flyby. Voyager 2 s trajectory could not be bent to bring the probe by Pluto after the Neptune flyby in 1989.

Passengers joined the Corris Railway train at Machynlleth and travelled to Corris.

It set off from Paris on 24 January 1564 a year after he reached his legal majority and returned there on 1 May 1566. Accompanied by his family and Catherine as queen mother, the king covered nearly 400 kilometres around the remotest border areas of the kingdom, starting in the east, running along the eastern frontier as far as Provence before turning west, reaching the Atlantic Ocean in Gascony, then moving back up the Loire valley and finishing in the Bourbonnais. His entourage was around 15,000 strong, including a military escort, his privy council, servants carrying his tapestries, coffers and other furniture, artisans, princes and ambassadors. It was a staged display of royal power in the wake of the first war of religion, to compensate for the throne s weakness in the provinces and to forge the kingdom s unity around himself by strengthening ties of loyalty to the monarchy. On each leg of the journey his fore runners had a rush to find lodgings for him in the large towns he slept in the town house of that city s richest citizen who had to move out during the king s stay , but more often he slept in inns.
