  2. Reaction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_control_system

    Reaction control systems are capable of providing small amounts of thrust in any desired direction or combination of directions. An RCS is also capable of providing torque to allow control of rotation (roll, pitch, and yaw). [2] Reaction control systems often use combinations of large and small thrusters, to allow different levels of response.

  3. R-4D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-4D

    The R-4D is a small hypergolic rocket engine, originally designed by Marquardt Corporation for use as a reaction control system thruster on vehicles of the Apollo crewed Moon landing program. Aerojet Rocketdyne manufactures and markets modern versions of the R-4D.

  4. KTDU-80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTDU-80

    The reentry capsule attitude control system, still uses catalytic decomposition of H 2 O 2, but that is a completely separate system. For this version of the KTDU, they used the pressure fed cycle for all rocket engines, and consolidated propellants on the UDMH/N 2 O 4 combination, which gives superior density and specific impulse and can be ...

    "A reaction control system (RCS) is a subsystem of a spacecraft whose purpose is attitude control and steering by the use of thrusters". Attitude and Orbit control "An RCS system is capable of providing small amounts of thrust in any desired direction or combination of directions".

    The system was also used to push the spacecraft away from the spent second stage of the Titan II launch vehicle on first reaching orbit. The eight rotational control engines were mounted off the spacecraft's center of mass around the aft section of the Equipment Module, pointed at 90 degree positions up, down, left and right.

    The Academy of Sciences of Albania (Albanian: Akademia e Shkencave e Shqipërisë), founded in 1972, is the most important scientific institution in Albania. [1] In the 1980s, several research institutes began at the University of Tirana were transferred to the Academy's jurisdiction. [ 2 ]

  8. Thermodynamic versus kinetic reaction control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_versus...

    In practice, if A and B interconvert with overall rate constants k f and k r, then for most practical purposes, the change in composition becomes negligible after t ~ 3.5/(k f + k r), or approximately five half-lives, and the system product ratio can be regarded as the result of thermodynamic control. In general, short reaction times favour ...
