The Inline Reaction Wheel (previously named S.A.S Module) is a toggleable module that provides SAS functionality, a sort of autopilot to stabilize and help keep a rocket on course. It is one of the parts featured in the demo version of the game.

Description

SAS: Stability Augmentation System, Spin Auto-Stabilizer, Sickness Avoidance Solution. Whatever you choose to call it, it makes the ship stop spinning around.

O.M.B. Demolition Enterprises

Usage

S.A.S modules do not have to be placed anywhere in particular to function. However, it 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.

Each S.A.S module adds 0.07 to the mass of your ship; if you require a lot of S.A.S modules to get a large ship off the ground, consider dropping them with your earlier stages when you no longer need them.

Changes
