This paper represents the significance of laser Propulsion for Aerospace Application. Laser impetus is a type of shaft controlled drive where the vitality source is a remote laser framework and separate from the response mass. This type of drive varies from a regular concoction rocket where both vitality and response mass originate from the strong or fluid charges continued board the vehicle. The ongoing tests on laser Propulsion demonstrate that, a little quad copter has flown for 12 hours and 26 minutes charged by a 2.25 kW laser (controlled at not exactly 50% of its ordinary working current), utilizing 170 watt photovoltaic exhibits as the power recipient, and a laser has been shown to charge the batteries of an unmanned elevated vehicle in trip for 48 hours. For shuttle, laser electric impetus is considered as a contender to sunlight based electric or atomic electric drive for low-push impetus in space. In the present examination, correlation of execution parameters of Laser Propulsion with Solar Propulsion are assessed hypothetically.
