Abstract
In the last years, the space industry has explored the development of different technologies to exploit very low altitude orbits. In this frame, air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) has been underlined as a good solution. This Thesis will develop or readapt EPT prototypes, as well as the required diagnostics, to explore the feasibility of EPT for the ABEP concept.
