How to stop spinning rocket in space
I have been playing KSP for a long time now but I haven't encountered this problem before. I have a rocket I sent to Duna and back, but after timewarping outside of Kerbin's sphere of influence, the rocket was spinning. It won't stop spinning, even with stability assist and rcs. I have plenty of rcs fuel and the rcs thrusters are definitely powerful enough to control it, however it seems like the kraken doesn't want it to stop. Does anyone know of any way to stop the rotation? Also I have a large list of mods installed that might be causing an issue, but there's too many to list here.
Edit: I was able to stop the rotation with a quicksave, but I noticed a robotics part was clipped into a different place than it had been before the quicksave. Does anyone know the cause behind this bug?

How do I keep my rocket from spinning?
Making sure fins are 100% straight and no asymmetrical drag is #1. Then you can further mitigate spin by using a reaction wheel, cold gas thrusters, control surfaces, etc. but all of those require advanced electronics. I've found that tube-fin rockets have the least amount of spin, all things being equal.Do things ever stop spinning in space?
An isolated body that doesn't exchange any angular momentum with the outside universe will never stop spinning (by conservation of angular momentum). There is no way to absorb angular momentum within the body in internal degrees of freedom; the angular momentum must be transported away if you want to stop.Why do rockets spin in space?
In flight, the fins of the rocket produce aerodynamic forces. These forces are applied at the center of pressure of the rocket which is some distance from the rocket cg and produce torques (or moments) about the principal axes. The torques cause the rocket to rotate.How do you control the rocket in Kerbal space program?
Hold down Shift to increase the throttle (necessary for liquid-fuel engines like the one on this ship), and then tap the Space bar once. The support structures release and up you go! Every rocket launch happens in stages, and each stage is triggered by tapping the space bar.How to Stop Rocket Flipping | KSP Beginner's Guide
