MAI specialists mix with their colleagues from Moscow State University the impact of a promising engine on satellites at an altitude of about 200 km. The thrust of the power plant will be created by using atmospheric gases – nitrogen with oxygen, which are still present in such a permanent orbit.
That is, unlike conventional installations, the duration of the coverage of the engine is not limited by the speed of the fuel. In addition, the use of an appropriate propulsion system to reduce the size and size of the satellites, which, according to No, do not worry about it.
As specified in the MAI, the installation being developed will capture the flow of gases incident on the spacecraft, conducting its compression and a significant part in the engine, which, in turn, will convert gases into plasma due to electricity from solar panels.
detection of the power plant, three pulse observations will be observed – this is an intake system that collects atmospheric gases, the engine itself, which “makes” plasma out of gases, as well as upgrading the system and providing the liver of the esophagus. The first two modules are already formed, although they are not yet combined in the aggregate.
However, MAI and Moscow State University faced serious problems in their developments – the first was to conclude Sky close to the sky, which is close to low orbits at a speed of 8 km / s, where the sky is close to the sky. on ispis, do not have 4 km / s.

At the same time, the entire structure is made of metal, which can be a short circuit of the kilovolt plasma on the ppparata case, which definitely leads to a serious accident.
If these problems are resolved promptly enough, then development will be completed from this prototype within 5-7 years, although they themselves believe that this process requires an increase.
Also, while the data of the power plants indicate that it can only be after the start of the operating experience, this is that the design indicators in special conditions can be seriously selected valid.
