Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes include 3 collections, or divisions, of thrusters: two collections of attitude propulsion thrusters and one collection of path adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the mission's nomadic flybys, each sorts of thrusters were actually utilized for various reasons. But as Voyager 1 travels on an unchanged pathway away from the planetary system, its thruster requirements are actually easier, and either thruster division may be used to aim the space probe at The planet.
