The '''S.A.S Module''' is a toggleable module that provides [[SAS (Demo)|SAS]] functionality, a sort of Autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course. It is one of the parts featured in the [[demo]] version of the game.
 
 
 
== Description ==
 
{{Quote|SAS: Stability Augmentation System, Spin Auto-Stabilizer, Sickness Avoidance Solution. Whatever you choose to call it, it makes the ship stop spinning around.|O.M.B. Demolition Enterprises}}
 
 
 
== Usage ==
 
S.A.S modules do not have to be placed anywhere in particular to function. However, it will cease to function if jettisoned. They appear to function on a stability:mass ratio, and the effect can be enhanced by adding additional S.A.S. modules. Often a single S.A.S. module isn't enough.
 
 
 
Each S.A.S module adds 0.07 to the mass of your ship; if you require a lot of S.A.S modules to get a large ship off the ground, consider dropping them with your earlier stages when you no longer need them.
