Title: Holographic solar-energy concentrators for solar-thermal rocket engines. Final report, June 1987-March 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6629552

This is a report on Holographic Concentrators for Solar Thermal Rocket Engines. The object of the work was to demonstrate that highly reflective holograms could be used as solar concentrators to heat liquid hydrogen for use as a propellant in satellite boost engines. The interest in this results from the need for a reliable, inexpensive alternate for conventional rockets.
