摘要：

Ablative laser propulsion (ALP) based on picosecond or subpicosecond pulses can be a reasonable alternative to existing laser propulsion (LP) concepts. The approach simplifies the construction of LP-driven vehicles and can resolve other limitations endangering the progress of LP using laser-supported combustion (LSC)/laser-supported detonation (LSD) wave mediated momentum transfer. Preliminary data indicate that ALP will have its own place in future space transportation applications.
