Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings include 3 collections, or even branches, of thrusters: 2 sets of attitude propulsion thrusters and also one set of velocity correction procedure thrusters. In the course of the objective's planetal flybys, each types of thrusters were actually made use of for different objectives. But as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an abiding course away from the solar system, its thruster necessities are actually easier, as well as either thruster division may be made use of to aim the spacecraft at Earth.
