Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings feature three sets, or even branches, of thrusters: two sets of perspective power thrusters as well as one collection of trail correction maneuver thrusters. Throughout the mission's planetary flybys, both sorts of thrusters were actually used for various functions. But as Voyager 1 travels on an unfading road out of the solar system, its own thruster necessities are easier, and either thruster branch could be utilized to point the spacecraft at The planet.
