Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings include 3 collections, or even divisions, of thrusters: two collections of perspective propulsion thrusters and also one set of velocity adjustment procedure thrusters. Throughout the mission's planetary flybys, each types of thrusters were used for various functions. But as Voyager 1 journeys on a constant path out of the solar system, its own thruster needs are less complex, and also either thruster branch may be made use of to aim the spacecraft at Planet.
