A program involved with the construction and test of a number of laser heated thrusters is described. These thrusters, with a cavity approximately 23 cm long and 3.5 cm in i.d., are to be tested by NASA at a later date with a laser beam focused through the throat to heat hydrogen propellant containing an opacifier. The heated propellant exhausts through a supersonic nozzle with a 0.6 cm throat at 3000 C. Thrust stands and control systems were furnished with the thrusters. The report describes radio frequency plasma heated hot and cold flow simulation tests by the contractor.
