Laser propulsion
Laser propulsion is a form of Beam-powered propulsion where the energy source is a remote (usually ground-based) laser system. This form of propulsion differs from a conventional chemical rocket where both energy and reaction mass come from the solid or liquid propellants carried on board the vehicle.
