Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes feature three collections, or divisions, of thrusters: two collections of attitude power thrusters and one collection of trail correction maneuver thrusters. Throughout the purpose's wandering flybys, both types of thrusters were actually used for various purposes. But as Voyager 1 journeys on an unfading road out of the solar system, its thruster requirements are simpler, and either thruster branch can be utilized to aim the space probe at Earth.
