Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature 3 sets, or branches, of thrusters: 2 collections of mindset power thrusters as well as one collection of trajectory adjustment procedure thrusters. During the purpose's planetary flybys, each forms of thrusters were actually used for various reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 travels on an unchanged pathway away from the planetary system, its thruster requirements are actually less complex, and either thruster division may be used to point the space probe at Planet.
