Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings include three sets, or divisions, of thrusters: two sets of perspective propulsion thrusters and also one set of trail correction procedure thrusters. Throughout the mission's global flybys, each types of thrusters were actually made use of for various reasons. However as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unchanged road out of the planetary system, its thruster needs are simpler, and either thruster branch can be made use of to point the space probe at The planet.
