Optical alignment of a high-resolution optical earth observation camera for small satellites

소형 위성용 고해상도 광학카메라의 광학정렬

  • Published : 2004.08.01

Abstract

Spaceborne earth observation or astronomical payloads often use Cassegrain-type telescopes due to the limits in mass and volume. Precision optical alignment of such a telescope is vital to the success of the mission. This paper describes the simulated optical alignment methods using interferograms, wavefront error, and reverse-optimization method for different levels of alignment accuracy. It concludes with the alignment experiment results of a Cassegrain type spaceborne camera with 300mm entrance pupil diameter.

인공위성용 지구관측 카메라나 우주관측 망원경에는 크기와 무게의 제약 때문에 Cassegrain 방식의 망원경이 많이 쓰인다. 이와 같은 우주광학계의 성공적인 임무수행을 위해서는 망원경부의 정밀한 광학정렬이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 정렬 정밀도에 따른 Cassegrain 방식 망원경부의 광학정렬 방법 중, 간섭무늬를 이용한 방법, 파면오차를 이용한 방법, 역최적화 광학정렬 방법 등을 모사를 통해 제시하고, 현재 개발 중인 구경 300 mm급 소형 위성용 카메라에 적용한 광학정렬 실험 결과를 정리한다.
