Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings include 3 collections, or divisions, of thrusters: two collections of attitude propulsion thrusters and one collection of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters. During the objective's planetary flybys, each forms of thrusters were actually utilized for different functions. However as Voyager 1 travels on an unchanging course out of the solar system, its own thruster needs are easier, as well as either thruster division can be made use of to point the space capsule at Earth.
