Voyager 1 Crew Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes include 3 collections, or divisions, of thrusters: two collections of perspective propulsion thrusters and also one collection of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters. During the purpose's planetal flybys, both types of thrusters were actually used for various purposes. But as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an abiding path out of the solar system, its own thruster necessities are easier, as well as either thruster branch may be made use of to direct the spacecraft at The planet.
