An encounter sequence is the order the records give, not a flight path. Atlas holds no trajectory for these missions and draws none.
Dates are the operator’s mission record; none was network-verified in this production run, and the record says so.
Schematic · log-compressed · ranked discs · not an ephemeris — full statement →
Schematic view: distances are log-compressed (to true scale Neptune sits 30× Earth’s distance) and discs are ranked by size, not to scale. Positions computed from JPL mean orbital elements for today — an orientation good to a few degrees, not an ephemeris.
