"By using solar sailing – rotating the spacecraft and tilting its solar panels to use the very small pressure from sunlight to alter the spacecraft’s trajectory – [[MESSENGER]] navigators have achieved a new record for the smallest miss distance between the intended and actual closest approach distance during a flyby of a planet other than Earth."

[[MESSENGER]] used solar pressure to correct the trajectory without using propellant. The [http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/multi05.html multimedia page] shows how solar sailing reduced the flyby target size.
