The KAIST Non-equilibrium Gas Plasma Dynamics Laboratory (KNGPDL), led by Professor Eunji Jun, is conducting research on the Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) system. This concept utilizes the rarefied atmosphere in Very-Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) as a propellant for satellite propulsion. By reducing satellite altitudes, the ABEP system has the potential to significantly improve ground observation resolution and communication performance. The research team published their findings in three SCI-grade international academic journals in 2023.
