The invention discloses a space target imaging optical
system, and belongs to the technical field of space imaging. The technical problems that in the prior art, number of motion components is large, and the space target imaging optical
system is, poor in reliability, large in
mass and complex in structure are solved. The optical
system comprises first lenses, a first lens set, a diaphragm and a second lens set, wherein the first lenses, the first lens set, the diaphragm and the second lens set are sequentially arranged along the same
optical axis from left to right, the left surfaces of the first lenses are spherical surfaces, the right surfaces of the first lenses are high-order aspherical surfaces, and the first lenses are made of
fused quartz. Aspherical surface coefficients of the high-order aspherical surfaces meet the following formula (please see the figure), wherein z is the vector height of the lenses in the
optical axis direction, c is the vertex curvature, k is a quadratic curve constant, y is an
axial distance, and at least one of the aspherical surface coefficient D, the aspherical surface coefficient E, the aspherical surface coefficient F and the aspherical surface coefficient G is not zero. On the premise that the large visual field is guaranteed, the optical system has the advantages of being large in relative aperture, small in
distortion value, high in reliability and small in size and
mass.
