They have become one of the key research directions in the field of space science in various countries.

[0003] The composite secondary mirror support structure is the core optical support component of space remote sensing cameras. Its primary function is to secure the secondary mirror and maintain its spatial position, ensuring its positional accuracy and reducing environmental impacts on its stability. Prior art patents include the following:

It includes a bracket ring, a bracket arm, a thin-walled tube, a front frame ring, a rear frame ring and a light barrier assembly. The invention adopts a plane assembly form, the assembly process is simple and reduces the assembly difficulty. At the same time, it adopts metal titanium alloy material for integral casting, which has the advantages of high specific stiffness and high stability.

[0005] 2. The patent number is "201910963545.5", and the patent description is "A back cover device and overall molding method suitable for a satellite-borne all-composite camera". It discloses a molding method for composite components in a space camera, specifically including a structural molding step, a laying step, a connection step, a pressurization step and an overall mold closing step; the molding method in this invention can effectively ensure molding pressurization, reduce the overall weight of the camera back cover, reduce the overall thermal expansion deformation, improve the overall thermal expansion reliability, reduce the stress concentration at the junction of the prefabricated block and the carbon cloth, and improve the overall reliability and stability of the all-composite camera back cover.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned comparative documents still have the following shortcomings:
