FAR Module Cluster

Fully
Autonomous
Return

Attach to the top/bottom (docking port facing directly normal/anti-normal) of a station and fully autonomous return is (mostly) guaranteed for stations under ~115km.

Action group [ABORT] will deploy all 4 modules.

The way that this system works is quite simple:
The module features 2 types of engine, a burst fire and a slow burn.

When the craft is ejected, both engines simultaneously ignite. If the burst engine is facing retrograde and able to de-orbit the craft in the orientation that it is facing, the craft will enter the atmosphere and land. If it is facing prograde, the apoapsis will increase, which does not allow the craft to de-orbit, which is where the slow burn comes in. The engine is calibrated to be ignited for roughly 1/2 orbit around Kerbin. this means that even though the apoapsis is raised, by the time it reaches it, the slow engines will now be facing retrograde, and due to the Oberth effect, will have sufficient DV to de-orbit the craft. This principle works for most directions, excluding any angle less than ~45 degrees towards prograde from radial in. (Direct radial in will result in a de-orbit)
