Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings include 3 sets, or divisions, of thrusters: 2 collections of attitude power thrusters and one set of velocity adjustment maneuver thrusters. Throughout the purpose's planetary flybys, both types of thrusters were actually made use of for various objectives. However as Voyager 1 journeys on an abiding road out of the planetary system, its thruster needs are actually simpler, and also either thruster division could be made use of to aim the spacecraft at Planet.
