Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes include three sets, or even divisions, of thrusters: 2 sets of perspective power thrusters and also one set of trail adjustment maneuver thrusters. During the course of the purpose's earthly flybys, both types of thrusters were made use of for various purposes. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an imperishable road out of the planetary system, its thruster necessities are less complex, as well as either thruster division may be made use of to aim the spacecraft at The planet.
