Solar Orbiter’s heliocentric distance and absolute value of its radial velocity. Colors separate individual branches of the orbit that come with changes in orbital parameters at gravity assists. Dashed lines correspond to all the combinations of radial velocity and location, while solid lines denote that Solar Orbiter passed through both inbound and outbound arms for the combination. The horizontal dashed line denotes Solar Orbiter’s radial velocity of 5 km s−1.
