BEAMED ENERGY PROPULSION: Second International Symposium on Beamed Energy Propulsion

Second International Symposium on Beamed Energy Propulsion

Kimiya Komurasaki, The University of Tokyo, Department of Advanced Energy, Chiba, Japan


AIP Conference Proceedings 702


Conference Location and Date: Sendai, Japan, 20-23 October 2003

Published April 2004; ISBN 0-7354-0175-6 One Volume, Print; 576 pages; 6 3/8 X 9 1/4 inches; Hardcover; $175.00

Readership: Industrial researchers in the fields of advanced propulsion, aerospace engineering, and laser science; faculty and graduate students interested in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

Papers presented at the Second International Symposium on Beamed Energy Propulsion demonstrated that this field is getting more active and has advanced considerably since last year. Japan demonstrated a microwave rocket using a 1MW gyrotron and China produced a laser launcher. Topics include: fluid dynamics in laser propulsion; ablative laser propulsion; microwave propulsion; mission proposal and analysis; hybrid systems and new concepts; beam transmission and reception; beam generation.
