Previous reviews have identified solar thermal propulsion (STP) as a promising candidate for high performance microsatellite missions, due to its high delta-v capability with a quick response time, relatively high thrust and efficiency, and low mass fraction for high capability. However, there are drawbacks to solar thermal propulsion, outlined in this presentation. Augmented STP is proposed and described.
