Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a space optical system, specifically to a large-scale, low-distortion space debris detection optical system. Background Technology
[0002] Space debris refers to all man-made objects that are in orbit or re-entering Earth's dense atmosphere and are considered to be inoperable, including their fragments and components. Space debris poses a serious threat to the safety of spacecraft in orbit. If space debris collides with a spacecraft, it will directly alter the properties of the spacecraft's surface, causing surface damage and leading to spacecraft system failures.
[0003] In recent years, human space activities have become increasingly frequent, leading to a surge in space debris and a worsening space environment. Among the most worrying aspects of space debris research is the "Kessler Syndrome," which posits that collisions between pieces of space debris inevitably generate even more and smaller pieces, creating an avalanche-like effect where the number of fragments increases dramatically. Donald Kessler pointed out that if a series of collisions reaches a trigger point, it could trigger a chain reaction, further exacerbating the space debris problem.
[0004] To detect space debris, the aperture and spectral range of existing optical systems need to be increased. However, increasing the aperture and spectral range directly affects the spherical aberration, coma, distortion, field curvature, and transverse chromatic aberration of the optical system, significantly increasing the design complexity. Currently published optical systems suffer from limitations such as large field of view but small entrance pupil diameter, resulting in limited detection capabilities. Alternatively, they may contain an excessive number of optical components and aspherical surfaces, leading to high system costs and failing to meet the requirements for wide-area detection of space targets.
