In terms of propulsion, once it's trajectory has been established there's no need for the rockets to keep firing. And since space has no air, there's no need for the craft to "point" in the direction it's going. Most likely, the craft was oriented after launch to maximize the solar panel output.
The "selfie stick" stuff is more worth looking into.
