A TEA CO2 laser was employed to ablate spray droplets for laser propulsion. The momentum coupling coefficient was derived from the force sensor data. Experimental results indicate that the coupling coefficient is largely dependent on droplet Sauter mean diameter(SMD), velocity and their joint distribution and that as SMD and velocity decrease with a narrower range of speed distribution, the momentum coupling coefficient increases.
