thanks!


Well that certainly looks like the hall thruster in question (albeit a surprisingly clean one), I'd expect it to be stained slightly orange from the exhaust of the conventional RCS thrusters like the rest of the ship (Another assumption). Perhaps a cover was placed over the hall thruster upon landing (hence the whiteness)?

We can be sure that something else drives all the secrecy
