A thruster nozzle (24) includes a throat (28) and a nozzle end portion (30) that is integral with the throat. The nozzle end portion includes an outer wall (32) that has a plurality of circumferentially-disposed nozzle features or connectors (34). A brace (26) may be disposed at least partially around the thruster nozzle and mated with the nozzle features to restrict relative movement between the thruster nozzle and the brace. The brace may be attached with a vehicle body (22) of a vehicle.
