Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes include three collections, or even branches, of thrusters: 2 sets of attitude propulsion thrusters as well as one collection of trajectory adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the goal's planetal flybys, each types of thrusters were utilized for different objectives. However as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unchanging pathway out of the planetary system, its thruster requirements are actually less complex, and either thruster division can be made use of to point the space probe at The planet.
