The Probodobodyne OKTO2 is an unmanned command module that runs on electricity.

Product description

The OKTO2 is far more than a flatter variant of the original OKTO. This new iteration of the ubiquitous 8-sided probe core features a much more advanced guidance system. This new model however, does not feature built-in reaction wheels and does requires more power to run, even on standby. Its internal battery supply is also very limited, being intended mainly to keep the Standby LEDs lit.

Usage

Generally placed near the top of the rocket, the Probodobodyne OKTO2 provides full command module and SAS functionality. It is the lightest probe core, but it lacks an internal reaction wheel, and has very little electric charge storage. The Probodobodyne OKTO2 features a size-0 (0.625m) node on top and bottom.

The OKTO2 occupies its own niche as a tiny probe core, which makes it optimal for small probes (and other craft where minimizing mass is a concern). It also has the most advanced SAS module of any command module in its tech level, with access to prograde/retrograde, radial, and normal hold. On larger craft with added reaction wheels, consider using the OKTO2 over probe cores like the Probodobodyne HECS to take advantage of its SAS capabilities.

Because of the craft's tiny internal battery, adding batteries and solar panels is very helpful.
