| Research Abstract |
A novel laser-electric hybrid acceleration system for space propulsion applications was developed and its feasibility study was conducted. From the thrust performance test, it was shown that high-specific-impulse operation up to 7,000 sec was achieved. In addition, developments of a compact high-power fiber laser system and a PID controlled thrust stand were conducted for onboard system components of micro spacecraft.
