Flyby (spaceflight)

[4] Flyby maneuvers can be conducted with a planet, a natural satellite or a non-planetary object such as a small Solar System body.

[5][6] Planetary flybys have occurred with Mars or Earth for example: An example of a comet flyby is when International Cometary Explorer (formerly ISEE-3) passed about 4,800 miles (7,700 km) from the nucleus of Comet Giacobini-Zinner in September 1985.

[18] Both MarCOs reached Mars and successfully relayed data during the Entry, Descent, and Landing phase of Insight on November 26, 2018.

On the night of December 31, 2018 to the morning of January 1, 2019 New Horizons performed the most distant flyby to date, of the Kuiper belt object Arrokoth.

International Cometary Explorer (ISEE-3) passed through the plasma tail of comet Giacobini-Zinner doing a flyby of the distance of 7,800 km (4,800 mi) of the nucleus on September 11, 1985.

[27] In 2010, the Deep Impact spacecraft, on the EPOXI mission did a flyby of comet Hartley 2.

[31] P/2016 BA14 was radar imaged at distance of 2.2 million miles (3,500,000 km) from Earth in 2016, during its flyby.
