Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a combined active and passive space detection optical system, belonging to the field of space debris detection. Background Technology

[0002] Space exploration optics is an optical detection technology that effectively acquires information about space debris in a short time. Space debris mainly arises from the disintegration of satellites in their orbits after failure, and from debris generated when rockets propel satellites into orbit and then break away. Currently, there are tens of thousands of pieces of space debris in space. Even though many pieces re-enter the atmosphere each year, the number of millimeter-sized and centimeter-sized pieces still poses a significant threat to spacecraft operations. Centimeter-sized debris can cause complete damage to a spacecraft, while continuous impacts from millimeter-sized or micrometer-sized debris can lead to performance degradation or functional failure.

[0003] Currently, the main space exploration methods used worldwide are space-based and ground-based. Ground-based telescopes employ traditional space debris monitoring, but lack the ability to detect new space debris and are easily limited by lighting and weather conditions, allowing monitoring only during dawn and dusk. In traditional space-based detection methods, passive optical imaging systems have limitations such as weak perception of various aspects of the target and single-channel imaging. A hybrid active-passive space exploration optical system is proposed. This system can complete the task of detecting and identifying space debris through multi-channel, active laser detection and passive visible light detection. Furthermore, because it is a hybrid system, its overall weight and size are smaller than two separate systems, making it more convenient, faster, and more accurate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined active and passive optical system for space debris detection. This system employs a visible light channel to capture space debris over a wide area, and after determining the specific location of the debris, uses a laser channel with a small field of view to precisely locate it. This method enables the detection of space debris across different spectral bands and the search and precise location of space debris in a wide area of ​​space. This invention allows for the search and identification of space debris using both laser and visible light channels in a space environment.

After reflection at the plate glass, the visible light beam enters the subsequent visible light channel lens group, where spherical aberration is corrected by the sixth and seventh lenses, and other remaining aberrations are corrected by the eighth and ninth lenses.

[0018] The visible light detection spectrum of the active-passive composite space detection optical system is: 0.48 ~0.70 The aperture is 100-120mm, the field of view is 7-8°×7-8°, the F-number is 1.5-2, the system pixel size is 6.5μm×6.5μm, and the detector size is 4k×4k. The laser optical receiving system operates in the 1062-1066nm range, has an aperture of 140-160mm, a focal length of 490-510mm, and a field of view of 2ω=±0.5°; the overall system volume is less than 480×330×300mm. 3 .

[0019] The working method of a space debris detection optical system with active and passive combined features disclosed in this invention is as follows:

[0020] The active-passive hybrid optical system for space debris detection first detects reflected sunlight from space debris using a visible light receiving system. The incident visible light beam undergoes initial spherical aberration correction through six refractions between the first fixed lens elements. Then, the incident beam is reflected by a coating at the fourth flat glass element. After reflection at the flat glass, the visible light beam enters the subsequent visible light channel lens group. Spherical aberration is then corrected by the sixth and seventh lenses, and remaining aberrations are corrected by the eighth and ninth lenses, thus ensuring good image quality and enabling wide-area space debris detection.

[0021] After detecting a space debris target, further detection is conducted to confirm its information across different spectral bands. A laser emission system emits a laser beam, which is then emitted through the same optical path as the laser receiving system. The emitted laser beam passes through an optical system and is incident on the space debris, before being reflected back into the optical system. Once inside the optical system, the laser beam is transmitted through the fourth flat glass pane into the subsequent laser channel lens group. This transmission through the flat glass introduces new asymmetric aberrations. The laser beam undergoes four refractions through the tenth and eleventh lenses to correct spherical aberration, and the twelfth and thirteenth lenses correct for asymmetric and other aberrations, ensuring good optical imaging quality and obtaining more accurate space debris information. By sequentially detecting space debris across different spectral bands using both visible light and laser optical systems, specific information about the space debris is obtained, thus achieving the goal of searching for and identifying space debris.

[0022] Beneficial effects:

[0023] For on-orbit detection payloads, the size and weight of the instrument must be as small as possible. Therefore, the innovation or uniqueness of this invention lies in:

[0024] 1. This invention discloses a combined active and passive optical system for space debris detection. In space debris detection, it employs dual-channel detection using visible light (0.48μm–0.72μm) and laser (1.064μm) to replace traditional single-channel detection. Compared to traditional single-spectrum detection, this invention obtains more comprehensive and accurate information about space debris across different spectral bands.

[0025] 2. In the field of space debris detection, existing space debris detection systems are significantly limited by the wide area of ​​space. Conventional visible light passive detection can only passively receive reflected light from space debris, while conventional active laser detection is limited by the field of view, resulting in a narrow detection range. This invention discloses a combined active and passive space debris detection optical system, employing a dual-channel system combining visible light (passive) and laser (active) detection. This solves the problem in conventional space-based multi-channel space debris detection where only reflected light from space debris can be passively received, thus fulfilling the requirement for combined active and passive detection of space debris.

[0026] 3. This invention discloses a combined active and passive space debris detection optical system. While incorporating multiple channels and both active and passive detection methods, it employs parallel glass to couple the active and passive multi-channel approaches. Furthermore, it utilizes a prism for beam splitting to couple the optical paths of the transmitting and receiving systems during active detection. This achieves the requirement of minimizing the size and weight of the instrument while maintaining the effective payload for on-orbit detection. In the combined active and passive configuration, the overall system volume of the combined active and passive space detection optical system is stably maintained at 480×330×300mm. 3 It has a compact structure.

[0027] 4. The present invention discloses a combined active and passive space debris detection optical system, which, while possessing multiple channels and active and passive detection modes, achieves large field-of-view detection in the visible spectrum by using an eighth-order even-order aspherical lens, and corrects asymmetric aberrations in the laser spectrum to ensure good imaging quality and more accurately acquire information about space debris. The MTF curve of the optical system shows that the MTF value is greater than 0.4 at a Nyquist frequency of 76.9 lp / mm. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The working method of a space debris detection optical system with active and passive combined features disclosed in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] Active-passive combined optical system for space debris detection, such as Figure 1 First, a visible light receiving system detects reflected sunlight from space debris. The incident visible light beam undergoes preliminary correction of spherical aberration through six refractions between the first fixed group (lens 1, 2, and 3). Then, the incident beam is reflected by a coating at the fourth flat glass plate (4). After reflection at the flat glass, the visible light beam enters the subsequent visible light channel lens group, where it undergoes spherical aberration correction by the fifth, sixth, and seventh lenses (lens 5, 6, and 7). Finally, the remaining aberrations are corrected by the eighth and ninth lenses (lens 8 and 9), thus ensuring good imaging quality and enabling wide-area space debris detection.

[0053] After detecting a space debris target, further detection is conducted to confirm its information across different spectral bands. A laser emission system emits a laser beam, which is then emitted through the same optical path as the laser receiving system. The emitted laser beam passes through the optical system and is incident on the space debris, before being reflected back into the optical system by the debris. When the laser beam enters the optical system, it is transmitted through the fourth flat glass plate (4) into the subsequent laser channel lens group. At this point, a new asymmetric aberration is introduced after passing through the flat glass. The laser beam undergoes four refractions through the tenth lens (10) and eleventh lens (11) to correct spherical aberration. The twelfth lens (12) and thirteenth lens (13) then correct for the asymmetric aberration and other aberrations, ensuring good optical imaging quality and obtaining more accurate space debris information. By sequentially detecting space debris across different spectral bands using both the visible light optical system and the laser optical system, specific information about the space debris is obtained, thus achieving the goal of searching for and identifying space debris.

[0054] Figure 2 , Figure 3 Spot plots are presented for the visible light and laser bands of the active-passive composite space optical detection system. The plots show that the system's maximum RMS value in the visible light band is 5.623. At the center field of view, the RMS is only 4.577. When the system is in the laser band, the maximum RMS value is 32.052. The central field of view is 22.265. It can be concluded that the imaging quality of the active-passive composite space optical detection system is good.

[0055] Figure 4 , Figure 5MTF curves of the active-passive composite space optical detection system in two different spectral bands, visible light and laser, are presented respectively. It can be seen from the figure that the MTF value of the system in the visible light band is greater than 0.4, and the MTF value is above 0.5 except for the 3.71 field of view; the MTF value of the system in the laser band is greater than 0.5, and the MTF value can reach 0.6 or above in most fields of view.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

3. A space debris detection optical system with active and passive composite characteristics as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that: The active-passive composite optical system for space debris detection first detects reflected sunlight from space debris using a visible light receiving system. The incident visible light beam undergoes initial spherical aberration correction through six refractions between the first fixed groups. Subsequently, the incident beam is reflected by a coating at the fourth flat glass plate. After reflection at the flat glass plate, the visible light beam enters the subsequent visible light channel lens group, where spherical aberration is corrected by the fifth, sixth, and seventh lenses. Finally, the remaining aberrations are corrected by the eighth and ninth lenses, achieving wide-area space debris detection. After detecting a space debris target, further detection is conducted to confirm its information from different spectral bands. A laser emission system emits a laser beam, which is then emitted through the same optical path as the laser receiving system. The emitted laser beam passes through the optical system and is incident on the space debris, then reflected back to the optical system by the space debris. When the laser beam enters the optical system, it is transmitted through the fourth flat glass plate into the subsequent laser channel lens group. At this point, a new asymmetric aberration is added after passing through the flat glass plate. The laser beam is refracted four times by the tenth and eleventh lenses to correct spherical aberration, and the twelfth and thirteenth lenses complete the correction of asymmetric aberration and other aberrations, ensuring optical imaging quality and thus obtaining space debris information. By using the visible light optical system and the laser optical system to detect different spectral bands sequentially, specific information about the space debris is obtained, thereby achieving the purpose of searching for and identifying space debris.
