At Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Super Low Altitude Test Satellite (SLATS), launched in 2017, has been expected to extend space utilization into extremely low earth orbits. Because of the increase of aerodynamic forces acting on the satellite along with the descent of altitude, ion engines have been used for the purpose of maintaining the altitude and attitude of the satellite. To improve the duration of satellites in super low altitude range, the air breathing ion engine (ABIE) has been proposed for future missions. In this work, by carrying out direct simulation Monte Carlo computations, we investigate intake performance for ABIE, especially at 268 km altitude, which is a sun-synchronous recurrent orbit for SLATS.
