Usage

The RV-1X Variable Thruster Block is an RCS engine, which consumes monopropellant and responds to RCS control inputs. It attaches radially to spacecraft.

The block has a rectangular attachment point with 2-5 'horn' nozzles protruding from its sides, which exert the control forces. The RV-1X is significantly smaller than the RV-105 RCS Thruster Block, with only 1/10th of the thruster power and monopropellant consumption of its larger companion.

If necessary, to carry out work in EVA Construction Mode, the part is transported in a cargo container. The cargo volume of the part is 5 liters and in one inventory slot the part can be stacked in 4 units.

Variants

Five variants of the part are available: angled 4-horn, orthogonal 5-horn, orthogonal 4-horn, orthogonal 3-horn, and orthogonal 2-horn.
