Laser propulsion

Laser propulsion is a method of accelerating objects, like spacecraft, using powerful laser beams. The laser beam is directed at a surface or a specially designed sail attached to the object. The energy from the laser heats or exerts radiation pressure on the surface, creating a force that pushes the object forward. This technique allows propulsion without onboard fuel, enabling faster travel and mission flexibility. It relies on advanced laser technology and materials that can efficiently harness laser energy for movement, making it a promising approach for space exploration and rapid transportation systems.
