Scientific paper
In the spring of 1986, a Workshop on Laser Propulsion was held to discuss the feasibility of using large free electron lasers to launch payloads into Earth orbit. This workshop kicked off a four-year program, supported by the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO), to develop laser propulsion technology. This talk reviews the concepts addressed by the SDIO Laser Propulsion Program, and the results of both modeling and experiments on double-pulse planar ablative thrusters, which remain a promising approach to laser launch. Other program topics to be discussed include trajectory and system modeling, and air-breathing thruster and vehicle concepts.
