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).

Link to this function available_torque(this)

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.

Whether the RCS thrusters are enabled.

Link to this function forward_enabled(this)

Whether the RCS thruster will fire when pitch control input is given.

Whether the RCS has fuel available.

The RCS thruster must be activated for this property to update correctly.
