The Place-Anywhere 7 Linear RCS Port is a RCS thruster used for spaceship rotation and translation movement and is fuelled by monopropellant. The Linear RCS Port has the same thrust as the RV-105 RCS Thruster Block but is only capable of thrusting in one direction. This part is only available in the paid version of Kerbal Space Program.

Currently[outdated], it has "PhysicsSignificance = 1", making it a zero drag and massless part.

Usage

This thruster thrusts in the same direction like all other stacked engine. To control a craft with these ports, a minimum of 6 thrusters are required.

RCS thrusters seem to prevent RT-10 Solid Fuel Boosters from overheating, even when offline.

Description

For every space that really needs an RCS thruster, Reaction Systems Ltd. has you covered with its new Place-Anywhere 7 Linear RCS Port!

Changes

0.23.5
  • "PhysicsSignificance = 1" added. The part now has 0 mass and drag, despite the listed values.
0.18.2
  • Nominal performance increased, bug providing vastly superior linear performance removed.
0.18
  • Thrust reduced from 3 to 1 kN; retextured; given Isp values and actual mass.
0.15.2
  • (undocumented) Thrust reduced from 10 to 3, bringing part Isp in line with the RV-105 RCS Block
0.15.0
  • Initial Release
