The characteristics of different propulsion systems for space vehicles are discussed and compared. The solar-powered space ship is evaluated in greater detail. A new light-weight design is presented, using spherical reflectors. Problems of design and operation are discussed by example of a hydrogen-operated prototype design. A number of basic characteristics of the vehicle system is established. A theoretical analysis of the spherical reflector as energy collector is presented. (Author)
