The Reaction Control System, mostly just called RCS, is a set of gas-fueled small thrusters primarily intended for orienting vessels in vacuum.


Fuel

In order to use RCS, you will need both a dedicated RCS fuel tank alond with some RCS thrusters. The fuels tanks for RCS are different from solid or liquid fuels tank, and currently come in two options.
