Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probes feature 3 collections, or even branches, of thrusters: pair of collections of attitude power thrusters and also one set of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters. In the course of the purpose's nomadic flybys, both kinds of thrusters were used for different reasons. Yet as Voyager 1 journeys on a constant path away from the solar system, its own thruster demands are actually simpler, and either thruster branch can be used to direct the space capsule at Earth.
