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.

This paper presents the Boeing Reusable Space Systems vision of a Reaction Control System (RCS) for the Reusable First Stage (RFS) being considered as a replacement for the Solid Rocket Booster for the Space Shuttle.

Reaction Control Systems (RCS) This presentation explains how the reaction control sysem is incorporated into the shuttle and how it functions.

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 Facility (B-2) • 40 tests were performed with 1,010 individual RCE pulses across a range of conditions • Simulated altitude (ambient temperature, approximately 30 torr)

The shuttle RCS jets are most often used for on orbit maneuvering and attitude control. Although most of the control systems that use RCS jets are in spacecraft, several Earth entry vehicles also use RCS jets during the

Careful consideration should be given to placement and orientation of RCS jet thrusters on hypersonic entry vehicles in order to minimize adverse RCS JI. Modern state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools should be able to predict the RCS effectiveness and JI accurately when coupled with verification and

The Reaction Control Subsystem (RCS) pro­ vides thrust impulses that stabilize the LM during the descent and ascent trajectory and controls attitude and translation - movement of the LM about and along its three axes - during hover, landing, rendezvous, and docking maneuvers.

2012年12月12日 · Its name is Centaur, and it is America’s Workhorse in Space. Centaur is one of Lewis Research Center’s (now NASA Glenn) most significant achievements. Centaur has been used to boost satellites into orbit and propel probes into space. It has helped to revolutionize communication and expand the frontiers of space.

The RCS values for both horizontal (HH) and vertical (VV) polarizations are plotted in dBSM [dB with respect to one square meter] as a function of the azimuthal angle. The elevation angle is zero, and the almond is measured with its broad side flat. Zero degrees azimuth corresponds to incidence on the tip.
