Universal Storage II – Control & Coupling

 

Control

Control wedges act as a probe core for Universal Storage craft, allowing unmanned missions.  Control point orientation is variable allowing for use on rovers as well as rockets.

Remote Operations System

The ‘iE’ version of the Remote Operations System is a double high, fully autonomous artificial brain. Capable of attitude control, remote guidance, and fulfilling the role of a skilled pilot; this system is the most advanced probe core available in a convenient wedge format.

  • Reaction wheel torque: 0.5
3rd party mod compatibility

Skin configurations

The ROS can be fitted with the outer case removed.  When configured in this format the gyroscope can be seen maintaining the starting reference as the craft rotates around it.

Coupling

Universal Storage Attitude Control Decouplers combine decoupling technology with reaction wheels to provide a single part solution to craft staging and control.  A variety of paint schemes are available to match your craft. ACDs can be placed anywhere but the recommended use is to cap a service bay.
