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

Product description

The OKTO is the next step in unmanned control technology. This small unit can not only receive and relay control, it also provides automatic stabilization assistance, just as a live pilot would. Also, its 8-sided stylistic design features lots of flat surfaces for attaching equipment.

Probodobodyne Inc

Usage

Generally placed near the top of the rocket, the Probodobodyne OKTO provides full command module functionality and features a size-0 node on top and bottom. The low mass and cost, SAS functionality and integrated reaction wheel makes it mainly useful for basic, lightweight satellites and space probes.

It is the first probe core in the tech tree to have SAS functionality and an integrated reaction wheel, two notable upgrades over the low-tech Probodobodyne Stayputnik. These two features allow it to maintain a constant attitude, which can be helpful on a rocket with slightly off-center thrust.
