Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes include three sets, or branches, of thrusters: two collections of perspective propulsion thrusters and one set of trajectory correction procedure thrusters. During the course of the purpose's nomadic flybys, each forms of thrusters were utilized for different purposes. Yet as Voyager 1 journeys on an unfading pathway out of the planetary system, its own thruster necessities are actually simpler, as well as either thruster branch could be used to point the spacecraft at Planet.
