Title High Power Laser Propulsion Author(s) Rezunkov, Yuri A Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. Description XVIII, 294 p. 20 illus., 10 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This book gives an in-depth analysis of the physical phenomena of thrust production by laser radiation, as well as laser propulsion engines, and laser-propelled vehicles. It brings together into a unified context accumulated up-to-date information on laser propulsion research, considering propulsion phenomena, laser propulsion techniques, design of vehicles with laser propulsion engines, and high-power laser systems to provide movement for space vehicles. In particular, the reader will find detailed coverage of: designs of laser propulsion engines, operating as both air-breathing and ramjet engines to launch vehicles into LEOs; Assembly of vehicles whereby laser power from a remote laser is collected and directed into a propulsion engine; and, the laser-adaptive systems that control a laser beam to propel vehicles into orbits by delivering laser power through the Earth's atmosphere. This book is essential reading for researchers and professionals involved in laser propulsion ISBN,Price 9783030796938 Keyword(s) 1. Aerospace engineering 2. Aerospace Technology and Astronautics 3.
