The '''CH-J3 Fly-By-Wire Avionics Hub''' is the only{{Check version||1.0.2}} standalone SAS module. Visibly designed for the nosecone of aircraft, it functions equally well in the vacuum of space.
 
 
== Usage ==
 
Simply attach the CH-J3 and it adds automated stability capabilities to [[craft]] otherwise lacking SAS functions. This may be useful if the craft is [[crew]]ed only with [[kerbonaut]]s lacking the “Pilot” [[specialization]].
 
 
== Product description ==
 
 
{{Quote|Have you ever wanted to impress your peers by showing off your elite flying skills, but lacked the skills to become a trained pilot? C7 Aerospace's Fly-By-Wire Avionics Hub is the solution! This module allows even the most minimally trained crew to fly like an Ace! WARNING: This module cannot operate autonomously. Warranty void if attempting to do so. WARNING: Module contains no internal gyroscopes or control systems (control actuators sold separately). WARNING: Warranty void without proper use of C7 Aerospace Brand Sickness Bags (sold separately, currently out of stock).|1.0}}
 
 
In its previous incarnation as a science sensor the description was:
 
{{Quote|The latest in research and developement enabled the development of this little marvel, The Sensor Array Computing Nose Cone. It is outfitted with many "quality" sensors and a computer salvaged from the highest quality aircraft scrap, enabling it to collect atmospheric data while in flight.|0.22}}
 
 
In its even older incarnation as an SAS module, it was called the avionics package, and the description was:
 
{{Quote| The avionics package! It is outfitted with many "quality" sensors and a computer salvaged from the highest quality aircraft scrap.|0.15}}
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
Originally the CH-J3 was called the '''Avionics package.''' and served as a toggleable module that provided [[SAS]] functionality. This kept [[plane]]s from spinning out of control.
 
 
In {{version|0.22}}, the workings of SAS (and “ASAS”) were changed and came to be built into each [[command module]]s. This made standalone SAS modules superfluous, and the part was repurposed as as a sensor for gathering [[science]], and renamed The Sensor Array Computing Nose Cone.
 
 
In {{version|1.0}}, the [[Atmospheric Fluid Spectro-Variometer]] was added to handle atmosphere analysis, and the addition of kerbonaut specializations made not every kerbal semi-capable of piloting. So it was restored to its original role as a SAS module and renamed.
