Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature 3 collections, or branches, of thrusters: 2 sets of attitude propulsion thrusters and one set of velocity correction maneuver thrusters. During the purpose's global flybys, each forms of thrusters were used for different reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 takes a trip on a constant pathway away from the solar system, its thruster requirements are actually less complex, and also either thruster branch can be made use of to point the space capsule at The planet.
