The Place-Anywhere 7 Linear RCS Port is a RCS thruster used for craft rotation and translation, especially in space, and is fuelled by monopropellant. The Linear RCS Port has twice the thrust as the RV-105 RCS Thruster Block but is only capable of thrusting in one direction.

Currently, it has "PhysicsSignificance = 1", making it a massless part with drag added to its parent.

Usage

This thruster thrusts in only one direction. To translate a craft, at least one thruster on each of the x, y, and z axes are required. It is useful for balancing RCS on a single axis.

Changes

1.7

• New model and texture
• entryCost decreased from 4200 to 800
• Cost decreased cost from 280 to 25
• Mass decreased from 0.03 to 0.02
• Tolerance decreased cost from 50 to 15

0.23.5

• "PhysicsSignificance = 1" added. The part now has 0 mass and drag, despite the listed values.

0.18.2

• Nominal performance increased, bug providing vastly superior linear performance removed.

0.18

• Thrust reduced from 3 to 2 kN; retextured; given I_sp values and actual mass.

0.15.2

• (undocumented) Thrust reduced from 10 to 3, bringing part I_sp in line with the RV-105 RCS Block

0.15

• Initial Release
