Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings feature three collections, or even branches, of thrusters: pair of collections of attitude propulsion thrusters and one collection of velocity adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the course of the goal's planetary flybys, each types of thrusters were actually made use of for different purposes. But as Voyager 1 journeys on an imperishable road away from the solar system, its own thruster requirements are actually easier, and either thruster branch may be used to point the space probe at Earth.
