Researchers propose an air-breathing electric propulsion system that collects atmospheric gas as propellant

According to cnBeta, researchers from the University of Stuttgart, led by Francesco Romano, propose an air-breathing electric propulsion system that uses atmospheric gas as propellant for satellites in ultra-low Earth orbit, potentially allowing long-term operation without carrying traditional fuel. The concept targets about 100 to 450 km orbital altitude, aiming to maintain orbit with minimal external propulsion and reduce space debris. The approach includes a novel RF spiral-wave plasma thruster and an atmospheric collection structure with a parabolic-mirror intake, claiming high gas capture efficiency and energy transfer, with propulsion possible at sub-2 kW input power in modeled conditions.

technology2 h ago
coda.news AI summary
  • A multinational team created and observed Bethe strings in ultracold atomic gases.
  • Cesium atoms were cooled to near absolute zero and arranged in thousands of narrow microtubes to enforce a one-dimensional environment.
  • Interparticle interactions were tuned from repulsive to attractive, forming stable bound clusters with varying sizes, some containing six or more particles.
  • Led by Sudipta Dhar, the work provides direct observation of Bethe strings and validates a theoretical prediction from 1931.
