I'm not sure if my understanding is correct, but these thruster pods are used to de-orbit the spacecraft too, right? I wonder if only one module has enough juice to de-orbit the spacecraft and retrieve it intact, if they end up needing to do that.

- lutorm 14y agoThe thrusters are off-center, so with only one it's hard to get any delta-v without inducing large rotation rates.
