Description

The reaction control system (RCS) consists of cold gas thrusters primarily used to control the orientation and position of a spacecraft. It is also used for fine adjustments during spacecraft docking. The RCS consists of several small thrusters that can be individually and quickly turned on/off to provide precise control.

Usage

The RCS can be powered by various fluids, which will affect its performance depending on their density and pressure. It can be controlled by a computer or another device to adjust the thrust and direction.

It does not perform any kind of combustion.
