Is laser space propulsion practical?: review

Applied Optics, 2021
In this paper, we review practical limitations to laser space propulsion that have been discussed in the literature. These are as follows: (1) thermal coupling to the propelled payload, which might melt it; (2) a decrease in mechanical coupling with number of pulses, which has been observed in some cases; and (3) destruction of ...

Review of Chemical-Electric Multimode Space Propulsion

AIAA Propulsion and Energy 2019 Forum, 2019
Multimode propulsion is the integration of two or more propulsive modes into a single spacecraft propulsion system. In a multimode propulsion system, the key attribute is shared propellant between the different propulsive modes.
