Voyager 1 Staff Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap

.Both Voyager probings include three sets, or branches, of thrusters: pair of collections of perspective propulsion thrusters and one collection of path correction maneuver thrusters. During the course of the goal's worldly flybys, both kinds of thrusters were actually used for different reasons.
