R7 thrust coupling
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The UNSC Pillar of Autumn maneuvering in atmosphere with atmospheric rocket pods.
R-7 thrust couplings are a form of 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.[1]
During the Fall of Reach, the UNSC Pillar of Autumn used eight of these to land onto and lift off the drydock at the Aszod ship breaking yards and escape the planet.[1]
