abstract = "This paper has the goal of searching for natural trajectories that
can be used for a particle or a spacecraft coming from a region of
the space far from Jupiter system to be captured into this system
by making close approaches with the Galilean satellites of the
planet. The opposite situation is also possible and escape
trajectories can also be found. This type of maneuver is called
Swing-By and it is usual in astrodynamics. It was used in many
space missions to reduce the fuel consumption by gaining or
loosing energy from the gravity of a celestial body. Several
famous examples are the Voyager, Cassini, Galileo and other
missions. The idea of the present research is to study this type
of maneuver using the Galilean satellites of Jupiter, to search
for trajectories that change the two-body energy (particle or
spacecraft)(Jupiter) from positive to negative (a capture
trajectory) or from negative to positive (an escape trajectory).
Those trajectories can be used for a spacecraft going or leaving
the planet Jupiter or to explain how particles can be captured or
escape from Jupiter system by close approaches with the Galilean
satellites. Initial conditions are varied to cover the whole
possible alternatives and then small regions of captures and
escapes are identified. After that, a study is made to see the
accuracy of the Tisserands method when applied to those close
approach trajectories.",
