Atmospheric rocket pod

Atmospheric Rocket Pods are a UNSC propulsion system used to lift non-atmosphere spacecraft, such as Halcyon-class cruisers, out of atmosphere and into orbit. The pods are attached to hardpoints on the underside of the vessel; once escape velocity is achieved, they detach and are discarded.

During the Fall of Reach, the used eight rocket pods to lift off the drydock at the Aszod ship breaking yards and escape the planet.
