The current Voyager 2 multiple gravity assist mission encountering Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune is reviewed. Included in the discussion are an historical background of the mission, emphasizing objectives and constraints, and the mission synthesis and selection for the Saturn, Uranus and Neptune encounters. The philosophy, options, characteristics and constraints of the encounters are also discussed, including the avoidance of rings, penetration into magnetic fields, and date synchronization. In addition, the trajectory selection process which resulted in the choice of the specific outer planet tour is summarized, and current reevaluations are presented.
