Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings include 3 sets, or branches, of thrusters: two sets of attitude power thrusters and one set of path adjustment maneuver thrusters. In the course of the goal's wandering flybys, each sorts of thrusters were actually utilized for various reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 travels on an unfading course away from the solar system, its own thruster demands are simpler, and either thruster branch can be utilized to aim the space capsule at Earth.
