Study on the thermal pointing error analysis for optical bench was performed in this paper. Spacecraft FEM is necessary to conduct thermal pointing error analysis for optical bench. But generally during the preliminary design, exact spacecraft FEM does not exist. So the analysis method to predict thermal pointing error of spacecraft is necessary without exact spacecraft FEM. In this study, these analysis techniques are described.

This paper is a study on the blade-type optical bench satisfying stiffness and thermal pointing error requirements for earth observation satellite. According to shape requirements, optical bench is designed. Because it does not satisfy the stiffness requirement, the stiffener is added on the outer/inner area of optical bench. But it does not meet the thermal pointing error requirement. So symmetrical structure is suggested with platform support structure attached on the upper/lower part of platform. Although it has better value than previous case, it still does not meet the thermal pointing error requirement. Based on the results of prior cases, optical bench finally designed, which satisfied both the stiffness and thermal pointing error requirements. Next conclusions follow from this design. It is efficient to increase thickness of platform facesheet, add stiffener and increase blade number to raise stiffness. It is effective to connect component consisting of same material and design optical bench having symmetrical structure to lower thermal pointing error.

대구경 고해상도 광학탑재체의 광구조부는 주반사경과 부반사경 등을 포함한 주요 광학부품들과 검출기를 포함한 초점면 조립부 등을 고정 지지해주는 부분으로, 발사시 전달되는 진동 및 우주 열환경하에서의 길이 안정성을 광학성능 범위내로 유지하여야 한다. 광학탑재체의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 주반사경과 부반사경의 광축방향의 길이 안정성으로, 광학탑재체의 작동 온도범위 내에서 수 마이크로미터 내외로 안정성이 요구된다. 이를 실현하기 위하여 주반사경과 부반사경의 간격은 열 및 흡습에 둔감한 탄소섬유 강화수지 복합재로 되어 있는 경통 구조물로 설계, 제작된다. 제작된 경통구조물의 길이 안정성을 검증하기 위해서는 별도의 정밀 측정장치가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 길이 안정성 측정장치에 대해 기술한다. 온도에 대해 변화가 거의 없는 (CTE<0.1ppm/K) Zerodur 소재의 막대 구조물을 기준 스케일로 삼았고, 이를 지지하기 위해 Invar 소재의 구조물을 사용 하였다. 주반사경의 베젤부위와 부반사경의 접속부위의 변위 변화를 세점에서 측정하여 길이 안정성을 측정할 수 있게 하였다.

This paper is a study on an optical bench satisfying stiffness and thermal pointing error requirements for LEO earth observation satellite. According to shape and stiffness requirements, optical bench type 1 is designed. Because type 1 does not satisfy the thermal pointing error requirement, an optical bench type 2 is suggested. Although the type 2 has better results than type 1, it still does not meet the thermal pointing error requirement. Using the results of optical bench type 1&2, the optical bench type 3 is finally designed, which satisfies both the stiffness and thermal pointing error requirements.

This paper is an assessment on the dynamic test results of optical bench for LEO satellite. According to the design requirements, optical bench was designed and manufactured. Dynamic test was performed to verify stability of optical bench. Low level random vibration test, sine burst test and sine vibration test are carried out to identify dynamic characteristics and to verify static strength and safety under quasi-static load conditions. From the result it can be stated that the optical bench is well qualified under the launch environmental conditions.

Infra-red earth sensors(IRES) are accommodated in a geostationary multi-functional satellite, which includes optical payloads for observing the earth, to provide pointing reference for the payloads. Even the slight pointing difference between the IRES and the payloads is so critical from the geostationary orbit that can degrade their imaging performance. Therefore, a dedicated support structure is required to guarantee the stability during the flight operation. This paper shows the design justification for the IRES support structure employed in the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite(COMS). It intends to give an overall design presentation and to justify that this design is compatible with all the requirements in terms of stiffness and strength as well as the stability.

In this paper, technical issues for an optical bench of high precision LEO Earth observation satellite are described. The optical bench should be stable for thermal and dynamic environment. In this point of view, an intermediate type of optical bench is developed. Thermal deformation analysis and modal analysis are performed for two types of FE model. Modal test are performed to verify the analysis results. The test results fit well the analysis results.
