Voyager 1 Group Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Each Voyager probings feature three sets, or branches, of thrusters: pair of sets of perspective propulsion thrusters and also one set of trajectory correction maneuver thrusters. Throughout the objective's earthly flybys, each types of thrusters were actually utilized for different functions.
