Pulsed inductive thruster

A pulsed inductive thruster (PIT) is a form of ion thruster, used in spacecraft propulsion. It is a plasma propulsion engine using perpendicular electric and magnetic fields to accelerate a propellant with no electrode. (Wikipedia).

Air Breathing Ion Thrusters & Low Orbit Satellites

Lower orbits are desirable for some spacecraft, but the Earth's atmosphere doesn't give spacecraft below 300km a long life. However ESA scientists recently demonstrated an electrical ramjet that could make low orbits viable for long term spacecraft.
