Voyager 1 Crew Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings feature 3 sets, or branches, of thrusters: two sets of perspective propulsion thrusters and also one set of trail adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the course of the mission's planetal flybys, both forms of thrusters were actually utilized for different purposes. However as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unchanged road away from the solar system, its thruster requirements are simpler, as well as either thruster division can be utilized to aim the space probe at Planet.
