"Revolutionary 'Air-Breathing' Propulsion Tech for Satellite Propulsion"
TL;DR
The space industry is developing technologies to remove space debris caused by satellites from an over-crowded low Earth orbit (LEO), while also considering the untapped potential of very low Earth orbit (VLEO) for satellite operations. However, working at this altitude with air would require more force to propel the satellite and keep it from falling back down to Earth.
