&gt; &quot;The Voyager flight team dug up decades-old data and examined the software that was coded in an outdated assembler language, to make sure we could safely test the thrusters,&quot; said Jones, chief engineer at JPL.<p>Pretty awesome.

&quot;These thrusters fire in tiny pulses, or &quot;puffs,&quot; lasting mere milliseconds, to subtly rotate the spacecraft so that its antenna points at our planet.&quot;<p>Does anyone know whats the fuel inside those thrusters is?
