Laser-Powered, Vertical Flight Experiments at the High Energy Laser System Test Facility

In 1996. the Air Force Research Laboratory's Propulsion Division at Edwards AFB initiated the Lightcraft Technology Demonstration (LTD) Program that had as its main objective to launch a laser-propelled vehicle into a suborbital trajectory within a period of 5 years. The concept is a nanosatell...

description In 1996. the Air Force Research Laboratory's Propulsion Division at Edwards AFB initiated the Lightcraft Technology Demonstration (LTD) Program that had as its main objective to launch a laser-propelled vehicle into a suborbital trajectory within a period of 5 years. The concept is a nanosatellite in which the laser propulsion engine and satellite hardware are intimately shared. Pres. at AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit (36th). Held in Salt Lake City, UT, 8-11 Jul 2001. Paper no. AIAA-2001-3661. Report includes viewgraphs.
