Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Navigating a Complex Pursuit
Comet 3I/ATLAS is in our solar system. Scientists missed the best time to send a rocket directly to it. Now they are using smart ideas to study it from far away.

A special comet from another star system, called 3I/ATLAS, is flying through our solar system. It is hard to get close to it now, but scientists are finding new ways to learn about it. They are using other space tools and clever plans to study this visitor from deep space.

A new paper laying out the HARD DATA of the three #3iatlas jets...each one almost exactly at 120 degrees apart as you would find on a vehicle not a comet, which this one definitely is not as NASA will go to extraordinary lengths to convince everyone it's just a comet.
+ This is a trisymmetric configuration - optimal for omnidirectional attitude control
+ Provides redundancy: any two jets can control all three rotation axes
+ The 120° spacing gives balanced torque authority without dead zones
In addition,there is a large thruster pointing towards the sun (which is what main propulsion would do), sorry "outgassing", comets never do this. When they do, it's an optical illusion.
And because we now accept anomalies without blinking an eye, all three jets changed shape to fan, as if they thrusters up or changed nozzle geometry...
Throw that one atop the #anomaly pile...
