Since the laser’s invention in 1960, the high average power laser technology driven traditionally by laser inertial fusion and currently by particle acceleration and X-ray sources has made huge progress, mainly for solid-state lasers. However, these lasers have to deal with effective dissipation of generated heat due to their relative low efficiency. Nonetheless, recently, progress in fiber laser and laser diode technology has occurred; the coherent beam combining technique enables the scaling of their power to very high magnitudes. Their nature, especially for fiber lasers, makes effective heat dissipation possible. Thus, these technologies open the possibility utilizing lasers in space applications such as debris deorbiting, asteroid prospection and mining, asteroid deflection, or even interstellar travel.
