“…As a practically operational device of an in-tube propulsion system using repetitive laser pulses, Sasoh (Sasoh, Jeung and Choi, 2007) proposed a laser-driven in-tube accelerator (LITA) with a wall ablator. A projectile is held in a rectangular tube and two opposing walls are made of a thermoplastic ablator material called polyacetal (POM).…”

“Beamed Energy Propulsion” is distinguished by its use of a collimated laser or microwave beam that enables long‐distance wireless power supply, no‐fuel airbreathing flight, high heating rates (detonation and ablation) by beam focusing, and other useful features. Remotely powered space propulsion is a potential alternative to chemical and electric propulsion. Compact onboard laser thrusters also provide unique features. This chapter presents a worldwide review of beamed energy propulsion studies, most of which have been reported at the series of International Symposium on Beamed Energy Propulsion (ISBEP).
