The craft is programmed to auto-correct its orientation several times each year in order to keep its antenna pointed toward Earth. Its next planned reorientation is set for Oct. 15.

But it's main mission was not to travel in interstellar space, but the explore planets in our own solar system which were very successful with many discoveries along the way.
