Pioneering the Orbital Frontier: The World's First Air-Breathing Satellite Thruster Set for Groundbreaking Test
Spanish company Kreios Space is poised to launch the world's first satellite utilizing air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) for sustained operations in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). This innovative technology, which uses atmospheric air to generate thrust, promises to revolutionize Earth observation, communications, and space sustainability by enabling satellites to fly lower, longer, and more efficiently without traditional fuel.
