The Advanced S.A.S. Module is a toggleable module that provides ASAS functionality, a sort of Autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course.

Description

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 adresses 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'.

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. modules, the Advanced S.A.S. does not applies any forces itself. It uses controlable airfoils (like AV-R8 Winglet), 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.
