Scientific paper

Compact accelerators employing laser-foil interactions which have significant potentials for space propulsion applications were reviewed. A feasibility study was conducted for the use of this phenomenon to primary propulsion applications. In order to evaluate thrust performance of this accelerator, time-gated imaging measurement with an ICCD camera was conducted for an Al foil target irradiated with an Nd:YAG laser set 1J/pulse with pulse width of 10nsec and wavelength of 1064nm. From the measurement, the maximum plasma speed was ~ 100 km/sec.
