Riassunto (Italiano)
We made a feasibility study for an air-breathing electric propulsion system with 3U CubeSat in this study. Firstly, the Rf gridded ion thruster and intake global model is obtained, implemented, and verified by considering existing studies in the literature on MATLAB. After that, the coupled global model of an air-breathing electric propulsion system for 3U CubeSat is obtained, and implemented and its results are studied in MATLAB. Lastly, sensitivity analysis has been done to observe the sensitive parameters of the coupled model
