We investigate the problem of fly past of a space vehicle traveling in a generalized elliptic Hohmann transfer system between the elliptic orbits of the Earth and Jupiter around the Sun. We consider the four feasible elliptic Hohmann configurations. We begin our treatment by a more precise expression for the hyperbolic excess velocity, because we deal with the elliptic not the circular Hohmann case. We assign the semi-major axes and the eccentricity of the hyperbolic trajectory that lies within the sphere of influence of the Jovian planet. Whence we have a more accurate determination of the elements of the hyperbolic trajectory before the vehicle's departure out of Jupiter's influence sphere to follow its trip to a further outer planet of the local solar system.
