Popis: This paper compares the mission performances of advanced propulsion systems such as electric, solar thermal and laser propulsion systems for GTO-GEO orbit-raising applications. The performance of payload fractions to mission durations was evaluated under the constraints of the Earth shadow and the Van-Allen radiation belts. It was shown that the electric propulsion system can deliver much payload fractions in mission durations over several months, and the solar thermal and laser propulsion systems can deliver much payload fractions in comparison with the chemical propulsion with less radiation damage.
