Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probes feature three collections, or even divisions, of thrusters: pair of collections of mindset power thrusters and also one set of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters.

However as Voyager 1 takes a trip on an unchanging path out of the solar system, its own thruster demands are actually simpler, and either thruster branch could be made use of to point the space capsule at The planet.
