The engine's mounting brackets. Picture 3 of 3. Note a second mounting bracket at upper right, just below the yellow electrical connector end cap, behind the wiring bundle.

Directional control was achieved by using the ascent stage's RCS engines, orienting the entire stage in the correct direction. | ||||
