In 2000, Stargate Command attempted to use a slingshot maneuver around Jupiter to correct the course of the X-301 Interceptor. It was unsuccessful because the AIM 120A air-to-air missiles they used didn't have enough thrust. (SG1: "Tangent") A slingshot maneuver was used by the Destiny expedition in 2009 when one of the Destiny's shuttles could not match the speed of the Destiny. The shuttle used a nearby planet to speed up and catch up to the Destiny. The opposite of an slingshot maneuver is a aerobraking maneuver. (SGU: "Darkness", "Light")
