Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes include three collections, or branches, of thrusters: two collections of perspective power thrusters and one collection of trajectory adjustment procedure thrusters. In the course of the goal's nomadic flybys, both kinds of thrusters were actually made use of for various purposes. But as Voyager 1 travels on an unchanging path away from the planetary system, its thruster demands are less complex, and either thruster division may be used to point the spacecraft at Planet.
