Abstract
Rockets engines based on chemical propulsion are the most commonly used to launch objects into Earth’s orbit; they have considered high cost chemical components that require high dexterity, careful transportation and storage. However, the laser propulsion will become the space access cheaper, and promote further improvements in safety and environmental problems. The purpose of this work is to develop the optical design for this technology, applying this concept to the DVPL (Laser Propulsion Technology Demonstrator) in development at the Prof. Henry T. Nagamatsu Aerothermodynamics and Hypersonic Laboratory of the Institute for Advanced Studies (IEAv).
