Giuseppe Colombo
Giuseppe "Bepi" Colombo (2 October 1920 in Padua – 20 February 1984 in Padua) was an Italians, Italian scientist, mathematician and engineer at the University of Padua, Italy. Mercury Colombo studied the planet Mercury (planet), Mercury, and it was his calculations which showed how to get a spacecraft into a solar orbit which would encounter Mercury multiple times, using a gravity assist manoeuvre with Venus. Due to this idea, NASA was able to have the Mariner 10 accomplish three fly-bys of Mercury instead of one. Mariner 10 was the first spacecraft to use gravity assist. Since then, the technique has become common. Colombo also explained the Tidal locking, spin-orbit Orbital resonance, resonance in Mercury's orbit, showing that it rotates three times for every two orbits around the Sun. Saturn's rings Colombo also made significant contributions to the study of Rings of Saturn, Saturn's rings, mostly using ground-based observations in the era before space exploration rea ...
