- W2040254585 abstract "The advantages of using electric propulsion systems are well-known in the aerospace community with the most common being its high specific impulse, lower propellant requirements, and lower system mass when compared to conventional chemical propulsion systems. But these advantages may not be enough to overcome the disadvantage of the added mass of the nuclear electric power source. In the past, the lack of suitable electric power systems has been a major drawback to electric propulsion. Current programs will have nuclear electric power systems available by the turn of the century. Coupling this with the resurgence of interest in free space electromagnetic transmission of energy (power beaming) and the advances in energy beam technology, a whole new approach to the use of electric propulsion for an orbital transport vehicle (OTV) is possible. Power beaming allows the on-board nuclear electric power source, the most massive component of the OTV, to be removed from the spacecraft and replaced with a lightweight energy receptor. An OTV based on power beaming could have a pay load fraction in excess of 80% and provide delivery times to geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) as low as 120 days and require only 200 kWe. 21 refs., 10 figs., 2 more » tabs. « less" @default.
