NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF AIR-BREATHING PROPULSION SYSTEMS FOR VERY LOW EARTH ORBIT APPLICATIONS

 

In the last years, there has been a significant increase in satellite launches to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Nowadays, this orbit, ranging from 400 up to 2000 km, represents the most satellite-populated region around the Earth. Considering that the number of satellites in space orbit is becoming increasingly saturated, Very Low Earth Orbit (lower than 400 km) has become a new choice to expand the satellite operation range and improve mission capability.  Low orbits have been avoided due to significant atmospheric drag which induce spacecraft’s orbit decay in less than 5 years. To maintain a satellite at VLEO, it is required the use of continuous low-thrust drag compensation mechanisms. One way to overcome this problem is the use of atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion  (ABEP). ABEP is a type of electric propulsion system that uses the atmosphere as a propellant source instead of a stored reservoir. This technology is still in its early stages, but holds the promise of providing a clean, efficient, and sustainable propulsion system for spacecraft, enabling Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mission scenarios. To optimize the ABEP technology, accurately simulating air-based plasma chemistry is crucial. In this scenario, the main objective of this project is to implement, verify, and validate plasma reactions into the CFD code for atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion systems applications.
