Nasa Directions in Space Propulsion
In his National Space Policy of 1988, President Reagan committed to a goal of expanding human presence and activity in the solar system. This goal has provided the impetus for a resurgence of activity across a broad range of space technology efforts in general and for a number of propulsion technology programs in particular. Building on recommendations from several detailed studies of the U.S. ...
متن کاملNew Laser Applications for Electric Propulsion
Various applications of lasers to electric propulsion problems have previously been made, and laser techniques are potentially powerful means to address and resolve a range of current issues. Studies with sufficiently high resolution and sensitivity to reveal the fine details of velocity, density, and temperature distributions for trace species will be especially valuable. Continuous narrowband...
متن کاملFundamental Architecture and Performance Analysis of Photofission Pulsed Space Propulsion System Using Ultra-Intense Laser
Photofission enables a unique capability for the domain of non-chemical space propulsion. An ultra-intense laser enables the capacity to induce nuclear fission through the development of bremsstrahlung photons. A fundamental architecture and performance analysis of a photofission pulsed space propulsion system through the operation of an ultra-intense laser is presented. A historical perspectiv...
متن کاملLaser Accelerated Plasma Propulsion System (LAPPS)
Recently conducted experiments at the University of Michigan and elsewhere have shown that ultrashort pulse (ultrafast) lasers could accelerate charged particles to relativistic speeds. For example a picosecond laser pulse with only one joule of energy can accelerate an electron to MeV energy in just a few microns distance. This takes place through the high gradient potential that manifests its...
متن کاملLaser Accelerated Heavy-ion Plasma Propulsion System
The Ultrafast “Laser Accelerated Plasma Propulsion System” LAPPS makes use of lasers with very short pulse lengths to accelerate charged particles to relativistic speeds. Recent experimental data reveal that high intensity lasers are capable of producing collimated, charge-neutral proton beams containing more than 6 x 10 particles at a mean energy of 5 MeV with a total beam energy of 500J. If u...
