Thrusters are small engines (propulsive devices) used to move a spacecraft small amounts. They are used to adjust the position of a spacecraft to keep it in the same orbit or on the same path, and to keep it pointing in a desired direction. The can also be used to accelerate space probes slowly over long periods.
