Ablative Laser Propulsion: An Update, Part II.

This paper presents an updated review of studies on Ablative Laser Propulsion conducted by the Laser Propulsion Group (LPG) at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. In particular, we describe the experimental technique developed for determination of specific impulses from plasma plume imaging with an intensified CCD camera. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
