Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature 3 sets, or branches, of thrusters: two sets of attitude propulsion thrusters as well as one set of trajectory adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the course of the goal's nomadic flybys, both kinds of thrusters were actually made use of for different objectives. But as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unchanged road out of the planetary system, its thruster requirements are actually easier, as well as either thruster division can be utilized to point the spacecraft at Planet.
