> and it's amazing it has that much residual thrust available. We're not talking about propellant residue, that was very well planned ahead. The spacecraft carried about 1.5 tons of propellant at launch. That gives the spacecraft a delta-v budget that is several kilometers per second. The next thruster burns (on the triangular "hyperbolic orbits") will be tiny, in the order of centimeters per second.
