Kantrowitz (1972) and Minovitch (1972) have proposed the use of laser sustained plasmas as a means to heat a rocket propellant. Recent studies of laser-powered propulsion have been directed toward the application of high-specific-impulse space propulsion systems for orbital transfer missions. Analyses of rocket performance relied heavily on the concept of the laser-supported combustion (LSC) wave. Raizer (1971) first drew the analogy between laser-sustained plasmas and combustion waves in an analysis. The Raizer model was later applied to hydrogen by Kemp and Root (1979). In connection with certain problems arising with the approach considered by Kemp and Root, the present investigation is concerned with a reexamination of the Raizer model. Attention is given to a numerical approach for the entire LSC wave in hydrogen, taking into account the incorporation of the proper boundary conditions far downstream of the wave.
