ION RCS

Parts Pack that includes ION RCS thrusters and Pulsed Plasma Thrusters.

These parts used to be included in my AmpYear mod, but moving forward they will now be available as a separate parts pack via this thread and no longer available in future versions of AmpYear. But will be completed supported by AmpYear.

Ion RCS
Thrusters that use Xenon-gas and electricity for incredibly efficient RCS. Some limitations:   

  • Has half the Isp of normal Ion engines.   
  • One quarter of the thrust of normal monopropellant RCS thrusters.   
  • Available in one-way linear thruster, 4-way ION RCS block and 4-way 45degrees ION RCS block.   
  • Integrated to TechTree at ionPropulsion.  

Pulsed Plasma Thrusters RCS   
Each thruster contains a fixed amount of Teflon and uses this along with Electric Charge for incredibly efficient propulsion for small craft or maneuvering.   
Some limitations:   

  • Has roughly quarter the ISP of normal RCS thrusters.   
  • One eighth of the thrust of normal monopropellant RCS thrusters.   
  • Only linear thrusters are available.   
  • Integrated to TechTree at advFlightControl.   

* See (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_plasma_thruster).   

Planned Changes:

  • Add better emissives and blue thruster effects.
