Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings feature three sets, or branches, of thrusters: 2 collections of attitude power thrusters and one collection of trail correction procedure thrusters. Throughout the purpose's nomadic flybys, both sorts of thrusters were actually made use of for different objectives. However as Voyager 1 travels on an unvarying course out of the planetary system, its thruster requirements are easier, and either thruster branch could be used to aim the space probe at The planet.
