Small propulsion units used to control the direction a spacecraft is
facing (it's "attitude".) These would be the small cross-shaped rocket
packs one sees on the sides of the Apollo series Service Module, or the
clusters of rockets in the nose and on either side of the tail of the
Space Shuttle.
They are also the small square openings in four spots around the saucer
of the Enterprise-A which are surrounded by orange paint.
