    Abstract

  • The mirror is one of the great significance components of the space camera, and the aluminum alloy mirror is becoming one of the development directions of space camera mirrors with its excellent processability. Objective: To reduce the difficulty of installing and adjusting space cameras, an monolithic aluminum alloy mirror structure design was carried out. Method: First, based on the concept of integrating multiple functions such as mirror surface, flexible support, installation reference and so on, the structure design of an monolithic mirror was carried out. Besides, while designing the structure, co-reference process design was conducted simultaneously. This design was informed by establishing an error transmission model and a corresponding precision allocation scheme. Finally, simulation analysis and processing were carried out on the designed mirror. Result: The results show that the surface accuracy variation of the monolithic mirror was less than RMS 0.01λ@632.8 nm under typical working conditions, and the precision of the processed mirror could reached up to RMS 0.016λ@ 632.8 nm, and the deviation between the mechanical and optical references was better than 2". Conclusion: The monolithic aluminum alloy mirrors designed in this study can satisfy the space mirror requirements of stability, high precision and excellent consistency.
