Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature 3 collections, or divisions, of thrusters: 2 collections of mindset propulsion thrusters and one set of path adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the mission's global flybys, both kinds of thrusters were used for different objectives. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on a constant pathway out of the planetary system, its thruster requirements are less complex, as well as either thruster division could be utilized to direct the spacecraft at Planet.
