A dual-spectrum imaging device for space exploration

Abstract

The invention relates to dual spectral imaging equipment for space exploration. The dual spectral imaging equipment comprises a lower shell, an upper cover plate, an information plate, a visible light imaging unit and an infrared imaging unit, wherein an accommodation cavity is formed in the lower shell; an opening is formed in the top of the lower shell; the upper cover plate covers the top opening of the lower shell and is fixedly connected with the lower shell; the information plate is fixedly arranged inside the accommodation cavity of the lower shell; the visible light imaging unit is arranged on the information plate and is connected with the upper cover plate; the infrared imaging unit is arranged on the information plate and is connected with the upper cover plate. Due to visible light and infrared imaging capability, the dual spectral imaging equipment has the advantages that the visible light imaging resolution ratio is high and the infrared imaging is not limited by light conditions, and is applicable to rigorous space mechanics and radiation environments.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device for space exploration, in particular to a dual-spectrum imaging device capable of both visible light imaging and infrared imaging, which can realize space target detection in harsh space environments without being limited by light. The all-day monitoring and observation belongs to the technical field of space photoelectric imaging. Background technique [0002] Electro-optical imaging technology is one of the most intuitive and commonly used ways to observe space activities. Therefore, at present, various spacecraft at home and abroad are generally equipped with surveillance cameras, which can image observation targets and even live broadcast space activities with real-time images. For example, the "Curiosity" Mars probe of the United States, the "Shenzhou" spacecraft and the "Chang'e 3" spacecraft of China. [0003] According to different imaging spectra, photoelectric imaging technology can general...

Problems solved by technology

However, compared with visible light imaging technology, infrared imaging has disadvantages such as low resolution and low response rate.

[0005] In addition, the structural design of ordinary civilian cameras is difficult to withstand the huge shock and vibration generated when the launch vehicle is launched, and it is also unable to adapt to the cosmic radiation and single event effects in the space environment.
