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. The size 2 (2 meters in diameter) version is wider and shorter than the old [[Advanced S.A.S. Module]]. In all other aspects (mass, drag, tuning, etc) they are identical.

The '''Advanced Reaction Wheel Module, Large''' is a large diameter [[reaction wheel]] meant to provide torque to a craft.

The Advanced Reaction Wheel Module, Large is the size 2 reaction wheel. It is expensive, relatively heavy, and provides a very large amount of torque compared to the other reaction wheels.

== 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 applies 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 Reaction Wheel Module, Large is a large diameter reaction wheel meant to provide 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 Advanced Reaction Wheel Module, Large is the size 2 reaction wheel. It is expensive, relatively heavy, and provides a very large amount of torque compared to the other reaction wheels.

Product description

After many years of research, STEADLER Corps rocket engineers discovered that large flywheels were necessary to keep large ships under control. The "Advanced Reaction Wheel Module, Large" addresses that issue by its use of patented Large Flywheels™ to provide "More Torque" (patent pending). STEADLER promptly dismissed all criticism concerning the necessity of so much research work, stating that 'it only sounds so simple now that we've figured it out'. Critics remain skeptical, but none can disagree that this module does indeed pack a lot more punch than previous models. It also needs a lot more power, but STEADLER is currently carrying out intense research work on why that is.
