Abstract

Changing debris orbits using High Power Pulsed Laser Interaction (HP PLI) finds interest in the Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) due to space debris congestion. Laser facilities allowing both high energy and repetition rate of a short pulsed irradiation become available as provided by the high power HiLASE beamline facility (Prague, CZ) with BIVOJ (100J, 10ns, 10Hz, 1030nm). In order to illustrate such an application, originally Crookes radiometer concept was adapted to quantify the efficiency of repeated laser shots in increasing rotating speed according to laser matter interaction. Various materials, from model to space applicative materials, allowed to estimate the material response with various irradiation characteristics (single shots vs. repeated shots). Matter behaviors (ablation, cratering, spallation, perforation) bracketed the laser conditions suitable in the perspective of laser propulsion with limited creation of extra debris or irradiated structures damages. Next is to strengthen the robustness of the simulation/experiment dialog to use simulation as a predesign tool for laser space propulsion.
