The '''Reaction Control Thrusters''' better known as RCS thrusters are small thrusters located on all sides of the [[Habitat]] and [[Ayse]]. These thrusters are used for very fine adjustment of movement in space as well as turning. The RCS Thrusters in the [[Orbit]] software uses a variation of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_engine Vernier Thruster].

==How They Work==
The RCS Thrusters use compressed gas which comes from the byproducts of the fusion reactions in the [[Reactor]]. The gas is then compressed in a storage tank until it is needed. The RCS gas tanks hold enough gas for ~106 uses without being charged.
