The Advanced S.A.S Module, Large is a toggleable module that provides SAS functionality, a sort of autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course. The size 2 (2.5 meters in diameter) version is wider, shorter, and heavier than the old Inline Advanced Stabilizer (previously named Advanced S.A.S Module). With the redesign of the SAS in version 0.21 this part only adds SAS functionality while the Inline Advanced Stabilizer also adds torque to the craft.

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'.
