Space Platform Speed Changes Half-Way?

Hey guys,

I've noticed the speed of my platform is 223 km/s and then around half way to the destination it changes to 243 km/s.
Why's that, please?

The thrusters are full, there's enough fuel in tanks and I didn't change the platform during the trip (to reduce its weight).

Thanks

This is the gravitationnal pull from the origin or destination, it can help recover platforms that ran out of fuel, it's a 10km/s that has different direction in the first part and the second part of the travel.
