Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature 3 collections, or even branches, of thrusters: 2 collections of mindset propulsion thrusters as well as one set of trail correction maneuver thrusters. In the course of the mission's planetary flybys, both kinds of thrusters were utilized for various purposes. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unfading course out of the planetary system, its thruster requirements are easier, as well as either thruster branch may be made use of to point the space probe at Earth.
