Pulsed laser ablation propulsion has the potential to revolutionize spaceexploration by eliminating the requirement of a spacecraft to carry itspropellant and power source as the high-power laser is situated off-board. Moreexperimentation needs to be done to optimize this propulsion system andunderstand the mechanisms of thrust generation. There are many methods used tocalculate the impulse imparted in pulsed laser ablation experiments. In thispaper, key performance parameters are derived for some of the impulsemeasurement methods used in ablation propulsion experiments. Regimes discussedinclude the torsional pendulum system, simple pendulum system, and solid andliquid microspheres.
