Kreios Space: il satellite che respira aria per restare in orbita

L'atmosfera bassa affossa i satelliti. Kreios Space vuole usarla come carburante: i gas residui ionizzati e sparati come spinta. Primo test orbitale nel 2028.

A small sleek microsatellite orbiting Earth at extremely low altitude, approximately 200 kilometers above the planet's surface, surrounded by a faint wisp of rarefied upper atmosphere rendered as a delicate blue-violet glow. The satellite features a glowing plasma thruster chamber emitting a vivid electric blue exhaust plume, visually suggesting it is drawing in thin atmospheric molecules and expelling them as propulsion. Below, the curvature of Earth is visible with cloud formations and continental outlines. The surrounding space is dark and star-filled. The visual style is a detailed, cinematic scientific illustration with a dramatic contrast between the warmth of Earth's atmosphere below and the cold void of space above, rendered in a photorealistic digital art style with volumetric lighting and a sense of technological elegance and innovation.
