Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings include three sets, or even branches, of thrusters: pair of sets of perspective propulsion thrusters and also one collection of trajectory correction procedure thrusters. During the mission's planetal flybys, each kinds of thrusters were utilized for various functions. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unfading path away from the planetary system, its thruster requirements are actually simpler, as well as either thruster branch could be utilized to aim the spacecraft at Earth.
