[ODE] Damping forces

Does ODE have internal damping ?
... say for example I have a space-craft changing direction and I want to
damp its rotation when the pilot applies a force to change its direction ?
This way I can stop my space-craft spinning out of control.
If ODE does not have damping 'built-in' then, I suppose I can apply my own
damping by getting the angular velocity and adding negative torque for that
... AddTorque(-angVel[0]*rate,-angVel[1]*rate,-angVel[2]*rate), where rate
is a small number.
Any suggestions ?
