Abstract

The major problems faced in spaceborne multielement optical systems used for high resolution imagery and remote sensing applications are the stability of optical and mechanical configurations under Shock, Vibration and Thermal cycling environments. The critical parameters to be achieved in a housing design for such situations are the decentering limits and separation limits for temperature variations. In this paper, a new technique for mounting optical elements for such applications is discussed.
