In one embodiment, a method includes collecting and compressing air with an air-scoop that includes an air inlet that air molecules enter the air-scoop through at approximately an orbital speed when the air-scoop is moving through an atmosphere at approximately the orbital speed and a rotor configured to be rotated by a motor at approximately a rotational speed. The method also includes providing the collected and compressed air for supply to a thruster as propellant.
