How did Voyager 2's trajectory allow it to visit both gas giants and ice giants?

💡 The Answer

• Voyager 2 was launched on a trajectory towards the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn).
• This trajectory also enabled further encounters with the ice giants (Uranus, Neptune).
• It used gravity assists from each planet to swing to the next.
• This unique path made it the only spacecraft to visit all four outer planets.
