Add to ORKGSolar thermal propulsion (STP) is the utilisation of concentrated sunlight for heating a propellant to high temperatures. Early STP concepts were envisioned for large spacecraft and capable of high levels of propulsive performance (<1000s Isp). Currently, at the University of Surrey, STP is being adapted for use on small-spacecraft in order to utilise the high propulsive capability offered by STP and widen the range of small-spacecraft applications. Conventional STP system concepts encounter difficulties in conforming to the low mass and volume requirements of a small- spacecraft platform. An enabling technology for the miniaturisation of an STP system is seen in the advent of low attenuation high numerical aperture (NA) fibre optics. This ...
