Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings feature 3 collections, or even branches, of thrusters: 2 sets of mindset propulsion thrusters and one set of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters. During the course of the purpose's wandering flybys, both kinds of thrusters were utilized for different purposes. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unvarying path out of the planetary system, its own thruster demands are less complex, as well as either thruster branch could be used to point the space probe at Earth.
