Passing about 100 times closer to Earth than the Moon’s orbit, the spacecraft will perform a gravity assist maneuver to alter the spacecraft’s direction and speed. In comparison, satellites in low Earth orbit are typically at altitudes up to about 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) above the surface.&nbsp;<a href="https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/osiris-apex/2025/09/23/nasas-osiris-apex-spacecraft-to-slingshot-past-earth/">Read more...</a></p>
