Scientific paper

Solar thermal propulsion and propulsion/power systems were identified as key technologies by the Operational Effectiveness and Cost Comparison Study. These technologies were found to be pervasively cost effective with short transfer times and very good performance across a wide range of missions (Feuchter 1996). The on-going Integrated Solar Upper Stage (ISUS) Program sponsored by Phillips Laboratory represents development of one such solar thermal propulsion/power system. This paper presents conceptual designs, mission analysis results, and trade study results for a system evaluation of ISUS for future military payloads. These payloads primarily include high power communication satellites for geo-synchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) applications.
