• Electric propulsion for small satellites (2014, methodology): “The micro-Laser-Ablation Plasma Thruster (µ-LPT) developed by Phipps and Luke [22] uses a 1–10 W, highbrightness diode laser irradiating various absorbing material and substrate combinations (e.g. black ink on paper, black PVC on KaptonTM).”
• Review: Laser-Ablation Propulsion (2010, background): “Two LPTs were developed, occupying opposite ends of the Isp spectrum: the millisecond LPT (ms-LPT) [4,34] (Fig.”
