Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes include three sets, or even branches, of thrusters: two collections of perspective power thrusters as well as one collection of trajectory correction procedure thrusters. During the mission's planetary flybys, both sorts of thrusters were actually utilized for various reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 journeys on an imperishable path out of the solar system, its thruster demands are easier, and either thruster branch may be utilized to aim the spacecraft at Planet.
