Sustainable Laser Propulsion System for Satellites

Abstract This research explores a sustainable approach to satellite self-propulsion through laser propulsion. The proposed self-contained system features an onboard high-powered laser directed at a large, reflective sail deployed by the satellite. Thrust is generated by the momentum transfer of reflected laser photons, enabling gas-free operation and potentially extending mission lifespans. This innovative use of laser propulsion opens possibilities for new, sustainable space missions, including station-keeping, delicate orbital changes, and even interplanetary travel for smaller spacecraft.
