This book gives an in-depth analysis of the physical phenomena of
thrust production by laser radiation, as well as laser propulsion
engines, and laser-propelled vehicles. It brings together into a
unified context accumulated up-to-date information on laser
propulsion research, considering propulsion phenomena, laser
propulsion techniques, design of vehicles with laser propulsion
engines, and high-power laser systems to provide movement for space
vehicles. In particular, the reader will find detailed coverage of:
designs of laser propulsion engines, operating as both
air-breathing and ramjet engines to launch vehicles into LEOs;
Assembly of vehicles whereby laser power from a remote laser is
collected and directed into a propulsion engine; and, the
laser-adaptive systems that control a laser beam to propel vehicles
into orbits by delivering laser power through the Earth's
atmosphere. This book is essential reading for researchers and
professionals involved in laser propulsion.
