Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes feature three sets, or branches, of thrusters: pair of sets of mindset propulsion thrusters as well as one collection of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters. During the course of the objective's global flybys, both forms of thrusters were actually used for different reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 journeys on an abiding pathway out of the planetary system, its own thruster needs are actually simpler, as well as either thruster division can be utilized to direct the spacecraft at The planet.
