Abstract:
The laser ablation micro-thruster technology is one of the most promising technologies to realize the engineering application of laser propulsion technology.As a new kind of electric propulsion thruster technology in the field of space propulsion,it has high degree of system integration,low power consumption,precision impulse element and other characteristics,forms a vivid feature in the aspects of propulsion performance and system integration,and possesses a potential application value for a variety of space missions.In this paper,the development trend of laser ablation micro-thruster technology is summarized by taking development history of laser ablation micro-thruster as the background,two working modes of the laser ablation micro-thruster,which have highest research value at present,are put forward,and the performances of the two working modes with high specific impulse and low specific impulse are analyzed respectively.Application prospect of the laser ablation micro-thruster is prospected.Finally,some suggestions for further research are given.
