Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings feature 3 collections, or even divisions, of thrusters: two collections of mindset power thrusters and also one collection of trail correction procedure thrusters. In the course of the mission's planetal flybys, both forms of thrusters were actually utilized for various objectives. However as Voyager 1 travels on an imperishable pathway out of the solar system, its own thruster demands are simpler, as well as either thruster branch can be utilized to aim the spacecraft at Earth.
