The Place Anywhere 1 Linear RCS Port is a RCS thruster used for craft rotation and translation, especially in space, and is fuelled by monopropellant. The Linear RCS Port has twice the thrust as the RV-1X Variable Thruster Block but is only capable of thrusting in one direction. It is the smallest RCS port available.

Product description

The smallest RCS thruster available. Useful when saving a few kilos is more important than snappier controls and is just the thing for those small probes.

Reaction Systems Ltd

Usage

This thruster thrusts in only one direction. To translate a craft, at least one thruster on each of the x, y, and z axes are required. It is useful for balancing RCS on a single axis.

If necessary, to carry out work in EVA Construction Mode, the part is transported in a cargo container. The cargo volume of the part is 4 liters and in one inventory slot the part can be stacked in 4 units.

Variants

Two variants of the part are available: Bare (default) and Shroud.
