These pods also contained the Orbiter's aft set of reaction control system (RCS) engines, and so were referred to as OMS/RCS pods. The OM engine and RCS both burned …

A reaction control system (RCS) is a spacecraft system that uses thrusters to provide attitude control and translation. Alternatively, reaction wheels can be used for attitude control.

The shuttle RCS was divided into 6 VRCS jets and 38 Primary RCS jets. It was also divided into three pods - left aft, right aft, and forward. Each pod had its own helium pressurization, fuel, …

Reaction Control System (RCS) was tested as part of the Integrated Cryogenic Propulsion Test Article (ICPTA) at NASA GRC Plum Brook Station in the Spacecraft Propulsion Research …

The pods also house the aft RCS and are referred to as the OMS/RCS pods. Each pod contains one OMS engine and the hardware needed to pressurize, store and distribute the propellants to...
