The following example shows how to close the valves connected to a Thruster and turn off the Thruster. This is useful when the Spacecraft has multiple Thrusters, and one of the Thrusters will not be used for a particular maneuver. If the Valves were closed but the Thruster was not turned off, an unwanted error would occur: "No tank available to fuel thruster; either no tanks are attached to the thruster, or the valve for the tank is closed."
