Laserlab-Europe Talk: Laser ablation propulsion: high power pulsed laser irradiation and advanced experimental investigation
Speaker: Séverine Boyer (MINES-Paris/PSL) Orbital debris removal in low Earth orbit (LEO) opens the way to a new paradigm in space propulsion. The use of high-power pulsed laser interaction (HP PLI) offers a perspective in this field. This concept is based on laser ablation. The high-power HiLASE beamline facility (Dolní Břežany, Czech Republic), with Perla-B […]
