With the rapid progress of microsatellite technology, especially the wide application of autonomous navigation star sensor, the market demand of star sensor is developing towards large field of view, lightweight design and higher precision. The key technologies of star sensor on the current market cover the research and development of optical system, advanced image processing algorithm and accurate star map matching technology.
[0003] However, in the design of the core component (optical system) of star sensor, although certain achievements have been made, there are still significant challenges and defects. Specifically, the optical system needs to meet the following characteristics: (1) for star point target imaging, although details are not pursued, the position of the image point mass center must be ensured to be highly accurate; (2) the center error of the dispersion spot energy of each spectral segment is strictly controlled, usually not more than one tenth of the pixel size, to ensure the accuracy of measurement; (3) on the basis of ensuring imaging quality, the number of optical elements is simplified to facilitate processing and assembly, and the axial and radial dimensions of the lens are reduced as much as possible to reduce the overall volume and weight of the star sensor.

However, these systems generally have a key problem: large distortion value, which directly affects the imaging quality and limits the performance of the star sensor in the field of high-precision measurement. Therefore, how to effectively reduce distortion while maintaining lightweight and large field of view design and improve imaging quality has become a technical bottleneck that needs to be broken through in the research and development of the current star sensor optical system.
