Abstract
The optical design of a 400 mm-aperture, f/3, three-mirror freeform telescope for the MESSIER surveyor mission is presented. PhoSim PSF (Point Spread Function) simulations of the linear astigmatism-free optical design and mirror surfaces’ microroughness modeling indicate good manufacturability.
