SAS is a control system that will help control you ship by countering rotation. Advanced SAS (ASAS) adds to this by also controlling control surfaces such as wings.

you can turn the system on and off with the T key, and temporarily invert it by holding the F key. The current state of the SAS system is shown by a light on your Navball. The SAS and ASAS are controlled together, you can opt to enable SAS but not ASAS, and vice versa; though as the name suggests ASAS is still SAS but with a more functionality.

All command pods offer a small amount of SAS force, and you can add to this by adding more SAS units to the craft. ASAS however is simply either there or not, you can not add multiple units to increase it's effect.

The game currently offers Three SAS/ASAS units; a small radius SAS, a small radius ASAS and a large radius ASAS.
