Description

A device for measuring the local acceleration of a spacecraft (either through movement, or the gravity of a planet). Warranty void if shaken

Probodobodyne Inc.

Made by NovaSilisko

Uses

Displays acceleration when right clicked. While it is activated, it slowly drains Electric Charge.

Attached to the side of an ascent stage this device can be used to control your acceleration during launch to provide a better and constant ascent, using less fuel for the same orbit.

On upper and cruise stages the Double-C accelerometer can be used to estimate the time needed to accelerate to a certain speed. Additionally it can be used to measure the spacecraft's current mass indirectly using Newton's second law.
