The required surface area of 3I/ATLAS to provide the inferred mass loss from the latest post-perihelion image, is at least 16 times larger than the upper limit derived here from its Hubble image on July 21, 2025.

...

Technological thrusters require a much smaller mass loss in order to produce the observed jets around 3I/ATLAS. Chemical rockets are propelled by an exhaust speed of 3–5 kilometers per second, which is ten times larger than the maximum ejection speed of volatiles sublimated by sunlight from natural cometary surfaces. Ion thrusters reach an even higher ejection speed of 10–50 kilometers per second. Alien-tech thrusters might employ yet higher exhaust speeds, reducing the required mass loss by several orders of magnitude and making the required fuel a small of the spacecraft mass. Upcoming spectroscopic observations will determine the velocity, mass flux and composition of the jets of 3I/ATLAS. Stay curious!
