This invention discloses a
system and method for flyby detection of
asteroid hyperspectral polarization characteristics, belonging to the field of optical detection technology. The
system comprises an orthogonal mirror module, a polarization spectral modulation module, a front
imaging lens, a
microlens array, a collimating lens, a spectral dispersive element, a focusing lens, an
image detector, and a
data processing unit. The detection
system uses the orthogonal mirror module to enable a
satellite platform to track and stare at the
asteroid during high-speed flyby. It also introduces a
microlens array to replace the slit in a traditional
imaging spectrometer, and, combined with the polarization spectral modulation module, simultaneously acquires a two-dimensional image, hyperspectral, and polarization information of the target
asteroid in a
single measurement. This invention achieves multi-angle hyperspectral polarization snapshot imaging detection of asteroids during high-speed flyby.
