Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings feature 3 collections, or even divisions, of thrusters: pair of sets of attitude propulsion thrusters as well as one collection of trail correction maneuver thrusters. During the course of the purpose's global flybys, both kinds of thrusters were made use of for various functions. But as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unchanging pathway away from the solar system, its thruster needs are simpler, as well as either thruster division could be made use of to direct the spacecraft at The planet.
