A reaction control system (RCS) is a spacecraft system which uses thrusters to provide attitude control, and sometimes translation. Use of diverted engine thrust to provide stable attitude control of a short-or-vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, below conventional winged flight speeds, such as the Harrier `jump jet`, may also be referred to .....

(RCS) A type of attitude control system that uses small, low-thrust vernier engines to provide three-axis control of a spacecraft in the absence of aerodynamic forces. Most RCS systems employ a cold gas such as nitrogen, although some operate using hydrazine. Pointing accuracies...
