This study verifies the thrust efficiency of atmospheric ion engines at low altitudes. Performance measurements from 1.0 atm to 0.2 atm revealed relationships focusing on atmospheric pressure changes and grid spacing. These findings aim to contribute to extending satellite lifetimes and provide fundamental technical data for Mars exploration and the space industry.
