Whether the RCS thrusters are active.
An RCS thruster is inactive if the RCS action group is disabled
(SpaceEx.SpaceCenter.Control.rcs/1), the RCS thruster itself is not enabled
(SpaceEx.SpaceCenter.RCS.enabled/1) or it is covered by a fairing (SpaceEx.SpaceCenter.Part.shielded/1).
Returns: true or false
The available torque, in Newton meters, that can be produced by this RCS, in the positive and negative pitch, roll and yaw axes of the vessel.
These axes
correspond to the coordinate axes of the SpaceEx.SpaceCenter.Vessel.reference_frame/1.
Returns zero if RCS is disable.
Returns: {{double, double, double}, {double, double, double}}, where double is a high precision decimal
Whether the RCS thrusters are enabled.
Returns: true or false
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when pitch control input is given.
Returns: true or false
Whether the RCS has fuel available.
The RCS thruster must be activated for this property to update correctly.
Returns: true or false
The specific impulse of the RCS at sea level on Kerbin, in seconds.
Returns: a low-precision decimal
The maximum amount of thrust that can be produced by the RCS thrusters when active, in Newtons.
Returns: a low-precision decimal
The maximum amount of thrust that can be produced by the RCS thrusters when active in a vacuum, in Newtons.
Returns: a low-precision decimal
The part object for this RCS.
Returns: a reference to a SpaceEx.SpaceCenter.Part object
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when pitch control input is given.
Returns: true or false
The ratios of resources that the RCS consumes.
A dictionary mapping resource names to the ratios at which they are consumed by the RCS.
Returns: %{str => float, ...}, where str is a string and float is a low-precision decimal
The names of resources that the RCS consumes.
Returns: [str, ...], where str is a string
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when roll control input is given.
Returns: true or false
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when roll control input is given.
Returns: true or false
Whether the RCS thrusters are enabled.
Returns: :ok

Returns: :ok
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when yaw control input is given.
Returns: :ok
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when yaw control input is given.
Returns: :ok
The current specific impulse of the RCS, in seconds.
Returns zero if the RCS is not active.
Returns: a low-precision decimal
A list of thrusters, one of each nozzel in the RCS part.
Returns: [thruster, ...], where thruster is a reference to a SpaceEx.SpaceCenter.Thruster object
Whether the RCS thruster will fire when yaw control input is given.
Returns: true or false
