      • Trajectory Correction Maneuver or TCM thrusters
      • TCM's where only used for continuous firing mode and not used to angle the craft which requires controlled burst firing
      • Engineers used decades-old data and examined the software that was coded in an outdated assembler language to figure out how to test the TCMs
