Laser Propulsion 10-kW Thruster Test Program results

This article summarizes the results of the first-ever experimental tests of a 10-kW laser-powered rocket engine. The rocket engine used high-temperature laser-sustained plasmas to heat flows of argon and hydrogen propellants, which were then exhausted through a rocket nozzle to generate thrust. The...
