The development of air-breathing electric thrusters could allow for an entirely new class of satellite that could operate with the fringes of Mars, Titans and other bodies atmospheres for years at a time. I wonder how this thruster would handle the planet wide dust storms on Mars. I understand that the dust can reach high in to the atmosphere.
