I beg anybody to rephrase it understandingly with using some units similar to football fields. Is it possible to launch a little cheap rocket with a transmitter just to correct Voyager's position?

Not only that, it also has to locate a pretty small object whose position is not well known, and course corrections, if they would help, from Earth take 18 hours (round trips 36).
