Uses
Displays acceleration when right clicked.
Attached to the side of an ascent stage this device can be used to control your acceleration during launch to provide a better and constant ascent, using less fuel for the same orbit.
On upper and cruise stages the Double-C accelerometer can be used to estimate the time needed to accelerate to a certain speed. Additionally it can be used to measure the spacecraft's current mass indirectly using Newton's second law.
