The S.A.S. Module is a toggleable module that acts as a sort of Autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course.

Usage

S.A.S. modules do not have to be place anywhere in particular to function, however they will cease to function if jettisoned. They appear to function on a stability:mass ratio and the effect can be enhanced by adding additional S.A.S. modules. Often a single S.A.S. module isn't enough.

Changes

→ See also: Version History

v0.8.5

  • Exposed Kd, Ki and Kp parameters for tuning the SAS module

v0.8

  • SAS toggle with 'T' key

v0.7.3

  • Initial Release
