Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings include three collections, or branches, of thrusters: 2 collections of attitude propulsion thrusters and one collection of trail adjustment procedure thrusters. During the course of the objective's planetal flybys, both kinds of thrusters were actually used for various functions. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an imperishable path away from the planetary system, its own thruster demands are actually easier, and also either thruster division can be made use of to direct the space capsule at Earth.
