Evaluation of the best mission performance of a 'photon sail' system using an impinging laser beam. The results of calculations of nondimensional time history of distance, velocity, and acceleration for propulsion by laser beam reflection are presented. These calculations show that propulsion by impinging laser beams is not competitive with advanced onboard propulsion concepts for missions in the solar system.
