| description | High resolution satellite imagery serves a more and more important role in applications ranging from environmental protection, disaster response and precision farming to defence and security. The design of high resolution payload requires relevant technical expertise, expensive equipment and software. Different aspects of telescopes have been researched separately but process of translation of system requirements into actual optical design of high resolution payload is unique and challenging work for this dissertation. This research will help to understand system level approach to design complex system. The scope of this research to identify optics requirements from system requirements, explore optical design concept and trade-off of concepts based on system requirements of high resolution optical payload. Basically, this research will follow SMAD process to explore design engineering of optical payload from objective, requirement to detail design. This research will also include different optical layout and their performance analysis in terms of MTF and tolerances. This research does not include opto-mechanical design, thermal design, focal plane array assembly, manufacturing and detailed AIT procedure. |
