Modeling and Experimental Measurements of Laser-Sustained Hydrogen Plasmas
type: CreativeWork
description: Laser propulsion is an advanced propulsion concept especially applicable to orbital transfer vehicles. As an alternative to combusting fuel and oxidizer, the concept utilizes a remote laser beam as a source of power. A laser sustained plasma (LSP) is the medium by which power is absorbed by the beam and transferred to the propellant.
