Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature 3 collections, or branches, of thrusters: 2 collections of attitude propulsion thrusters and one collection of path adjustment procedure thrusters. Throughout the objective's worldly flybys, both sorts of thrusters were actually used for various functions. However as Voyager 1 journeys on an unvarying path away from the solar system, its own thruster needs are less complex, as well as either thruster division may be used to aim the spacecraft at The planet.
