- Name
- Voyager 1 hydrazine propulsion and attitude-control installation
- Notes
- Integrated Voyager 1 hydrazine subsystem only. The mission-module attitude and trajectory-correction branches and the propulsion-module reaction engines are preserved as separate role entries. The separate cold-nitrogen reaction-control subsystem and Voyager solid motor remain outside this bounded configuration.
