Agency's Voyager 1 probe changes thrusters in a tricky problem as it flies through interstellar space

The distant, cold Voyager 1 spacecraft used a clever trick with its thrusters to help it phone home.

Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object now flying through interstellar space, had thruster problems that made it difficult for the spacecraft to stay pointed toward Earth when communicating with the planet. Unless Voyager 1 could switch to a different set of thrusters, the 47-year-old spacecraft would continue to navigate alone without any help from Earth. Making matters worse, Voyager 1 is so old that sudden changes could damage the spacecraft.
