Voyager 1 Crew Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings include 3 sets, or even divisions, of thrusters: 2 collections of attitude power thrusters and also one collection of velocity adjustment procedure thrusters. In the course of the goal's worldly flybys, each forms of thrusters were made use of for various functions. Yet as Voyager 1 travels on a changeless pathway away from the solar system, its thruster necessities are less complex, as well as either thruster division could be used to point the spacecraft at Earth.
