Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus

The Thruster Pack, also known as the T-PACK (Model: 050978 ) for short, was a UNSC-issue form of propulsion for use by individuals on deep-space missions.

Background
Designed for long-range deep-space operations, T-PACKS were still some of the riskiest equipment available. They featured triple redundancy NAV systems and stabilizers. T-PACKS contain two tanks of compressed Triamino Hydrazine, which, if ruptured, would cause rapid loss of control, for which there is little a person can do. They can also be linked up to weapons such as MA5B Assault Rifles. Should the wearer fire the weapon, the pack will provide enough counter thrust to keep the wearer from spinning out of control. T-PACKS also contain emergency rescue lines of orange and white rope meant to rescue other people who are stranded in deep space. They are essentially a less advanced and effective version of the Covenant Antigravity Packs.

Trivia

 * T-PACKS also appear to be adversely affected by radiation; if they come into proximity with unshielded radiation, they will fail. They will also fail and cause similar results if struck by weaponry.
 * They have also caused the disappearance of two SPARTAN-II supersoldiers. One (Unit Serial: ) was worn by Kurt-051 in 2531 on a mission in the Groombridge 34 System. It failed when it came into contact with radiation, causing him to spin out of control Another, worn by James during the Battle of Reach, exploded when hit with projectiles from a Needler, causing him to spin out of control and subsequently lost contact..
 * The Mark IV MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant Armor supports the use of T-PACKS. There is also probably a MJOLNIR Mark V extravehicular variant, but it has never been shown or mentioned (unless the Jetpack from Halo: Reach is indeed the T-PACK or a version of it modified for use in planetary gravity, as some have suggested).
