Abstract
Consider a spacecraft that has left the Earth and is flying to Jupiter. Consider it launched such that it is going to encounter Mars on its way. Precautions are taken, of course, to make sure that it does not collide with Mars. On the other hand, it is to approach Mars closely, so close as a matter of fact, that it will be under the influence of Mars for a certain period of time.
