The BREATHE project aims to develop air-breathing electric rocket technology for operations in Very Low Earth Orbits. By utilizing residual atmospheric gas, these rockets can enhance spacecraft performance and longevity, addressing challenges in altitude operations between 50 km and 250 km.
Airflight and spaceflight gave mankind different perspectives and opened new paths for communication. A gap remains, between 50 km and 250 km of altitude, where the rarefied atmosphere makes it hardly viable to operate with either spacecraft or planes.
Air-breathing Electric Rockets (AERs) will allow to close this gap, lowering the altitude of spacecraft operations below 250 km, in the so-called Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEOs).
Operations in VLEOs will give radical advantages in terms of orbit acc…
