Design of a wide field of view phased array imaging system is considerably more difficult than phased array beam transmission telescopes such as PHASAR,1 which has no field of view. In addition to maintaining optical phase to a fraction of a wavelength on the optic axis, an imaging telescope must accurately control phase and align the images from all telescopes to within a fraction of a resolution element over the whole field of view simultaneously. This requires lateral pupil geometry3 that is extremely close to the ideal.","PeriodicalId":184695,"journal":{"name":"Space Optics for Astrophysics and Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128218759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonnenmacher","doi":"10.1364/soa.1991.ma3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/soa.1991.ma3","url":null,"abstract":"The function of the Optical Control System (OCS) was to align the Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA) to achieve a λ/20 on-axis wavefront Its existence was dictated by the error budgets for aligning the Secondary Mirror (SM) to the Primary (PM) on the ground and for stability of the PM figure, and by the need to accomodate moisture desorption of the Metering Truss Assembly (MTA). The alignment system needed to accomodate the large OPD error which could, under worst case conditions, have been present immediately after launch, while also achieving measurement accuracies of λ/80 in the aligned state. This was to be accomplished by using a Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) for coarse alignment, and an interferometric Wavefront Sensor (WFS) for fine alignment, both working in conjunction with the Actuator Control System (ACS). Since the final OTA wavefront error requirement was with reference to a perfect surface, an absolute reference was needed on-orbit, or equivalently, the system had to be calibrated on the ground, and thereafter had to remain stable for the life of the mission. To the extent that can be determined from a variety of on-orbit measurements, the OCS hardware and software is capable of these exacting requirements. However, the OCS does not measure to the accuracy required, apparently because spherical aberration in the PM has rendered the coma component of the ground calibration invalid.","PeriodicalId":184695,"journal":{"name":"Space Optics for Astrophysics and Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129242923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The instrument consists of 6 siderostats arranged as 3 co-linear interferometers on a single structure; two interferometers are used for attitude control, and the third for science observations. Delay lines are used for path- length equalization, allowing a large field of view. Available baselines range from 1 to 20 m, with ~50 cm clear apertures. High astrometric precision is obtained with a laser metrology system which monitors the instrument baselines, i.e., the siderostat positions, as well as the delay-line positions. Mission and flight system studies resulted in an implementation which would use an Atlas HAS for insertion into a 900 km sun- synchronous orbit. The total spacecraft mass was ~3600 kg (including contingencies), and the structure would fold in order to fit within a standard launch shroud. Some of the science possible with OSI includes the astrometric detection of planets and the high resolution imaging of Seyfert II narrow-line regions.","PeriodicalId":184695,"journal":{"name":"Space Optics for Astrophysics and Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114564381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
