      abstract = {This book gives an in-depth analysis of the physical  phenomena of thrust production by laser radiation, as well  as laser propulsion engines, and laser-propelled vehicles.  It brings together into a unified context accumulated  up-to-date information on laser propulsion research,  considering propulsion phenomena, laser propulsion  techniques, design of vehicles with laser propulsion  engines, and high-power laser systems to provide movement  for space vehicles. In particular, the reader will find  detailed coverage of: designs of laser propulsion engines,  operating as both air-breathing and ramjet engines to  launch vehicles into LEOs; Assembly of vehicles whereby  laser power from a remote laser is collected and directed  into a propulsion engine; and, the laser-adaptive systems  that control a laser beam to propel vehicles into orbits by  delivering laser power through the Earth's atmosphere. This  book is essential reading for researchers and professionals  involved in laser propulsion.},
