The MK2 Drone Core is an unmanned command module for the Mk2 radial size, which was included in the Spaceplane Plus mod added to KSP 0.25. It works like a probe core and requires electricity for it to function.

[hide]Usage
One possible usage for the Mk2 Drone core is to test aircraft or spaceplanes, to avoid killing Kerbals in the case of an accident during testing, or to make the craft accessible when each of the Kerbonauts have left the craft. It ha a special property - the amount of torque generated by its reaction wheels depends on the axises. The torque of pitch axis is 15 kN·m, but the torques of yaw and roll axises are only 3 kN·m.
