PTNLemay you can fly a plane with solar power. I don't think power will be a problem. You just need the deltaV produce by the ion engine equal to the negative deltaV of drag.

PTNLemay the energy needed is 1/2mv². The v is the deltaV you need to counter drag. Power is just energy/time. You don't need high power because drag is very low

Jack Vernian you don't need the exhaust to be at orbital velocity because you are just topping off the lost deltaV.
