Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes include three collections, or even divisions, of thrusters: two collections of attitude power thrusters as well as one collection of trail adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the course of the mission's planetal flybys, each sorts of thrusters were actually made use of for different reasons. However as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an abiding path away from the planetary system, its thruster needs are simpler, and either thruster division may be made use of to aim the space probe at The planet.
