The new thruster is an air-breathing ion thruster. It can slurp up the scant amount air molecules that are very high up in the atmosphere and use that air … Continue reading (https://www.slashgear.com/esa-led-team-test-fires-air-breathing-electric-thruster-for-satellites-09522766/)http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/slashgear/~4/OoYsccKRyls
