Mariner 10 nitrogen cold-gas attitude-control system
The Mariner 10 nitrogen cold-gas attitude-control system consists of ten nitrogen jets used to stabilize yaw, pitch, and roll. JPL describes the jets as fed by pressurized nitrogen bottles and linked to the spacecraft attitude-control sensors and gyros.
