Design of an Intake and a Thruster for an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion System
F. Romano, G. Herdrich, Y. -A. Chan +25
Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft that finally defines the missions lifetime unle…
Development and analysis of novel mission scenarios based on Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP)
S. Vaidya, C. Traub, F. Romano +28
Operating satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) benefits the already expanding New Space industry in applications including Earth Observation and beyond. However, long-term ope…
Intake Design for an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion System (ABEP)
F. Romano, J. Espinosa-Orozco, M. Pfeiffer +29
Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft. To extend the lifetime of such missions, an ef…
System Analysis and Test-Bed for an Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion System using an Inductive Plasma Thruster
Francesco Romano, Bartomeu Massutí-Ballester, Tilman Binder +3
Challenging space mission scenarios include those in low altitude orbits, where the atmosphere creates significant drag to the S/C and forces their orbit to an early decay. For dra…
