The '''Advanced S.A.S. Module''' is a toggleable module that provides [[SAS]] functionality, a sort of Autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course. It does this by acting as a PID controller for a craft's angular momentum.  
+
The '''Advanced Inline Stabilizer''' is a toggleable [[reaction wheel]] that provides torque to a craft. Extra torque means that the player's spaceship will rotate faster when ordered to, resulting in a more nimble feel to the craft. The Inline Advanced Stabilizer is the 'Small' size reaction wheel.

{{Quote|After many years of research, STEADLER Corps rocket scientists discovered that Kerbal crewmembers just can't be trusted to keep a spacecraft under control. The Advanced S.A.S Module addresses that issue by correcting flight controls continuously. It is highly recommended that crewmembers are kept unaware of the presence of such a device, as experience shows that many Kerbals will see that as a 'challenge to their flying prowess'.|STEADLER Engineering Corps}}

== Usage ==
 
The Advanced S.A.S. module does not have to be placed anywhere in particular to function, however it will cease to function if jettisoned. Unlike [[S.A.S. Module | S.A.S. modules]], the Advanced S.A.S. does not apply any forces itself. It uses controllable airfoils (like [[AV-R8 Winglet]]), [[Reaction Control System|RCS]] and gimbal engines to control the ship's heading and rotation, so you will need to add these elements if you are planning to use Advanced S.A.S. Only one Advanced S.A.S is needed per ship.

The Advanced Inline Stabilizer is a toggleable reaction wheel that provides torque to a craft. Extra torque means that the player's spaceship will rotate faster when ordered to, resulting in a more nimble feel to the craft. The Inline Advanced Stabilizer is the 'Small' size reaction wheel.

Product description

The Advanced Inline Stabilizer module containing a larger, heavier array of reaction wheels. These spin very quickly to create torque without wasting propellant. These larger wheels are driven by proportionally larger electric motors, so keep an eye on your Electricity levels.
