项目摘要

The project is to develop a system that allows a space telescope to continuously align its primary mirror segments (and the secondary optics) to give the sharpest possible images. This system will allow the telescope to be small and lightweight for the rocket launch and then unfold into a much larger configuration for actual use. Continuous self-alignment is needed because the light-weight telescope structure will not be well aligned on initial deployment and not dimensionally stable at the required level (~100nm) over long times scales. This concept has enormous potential for space telescopes and launch packages of all sizes. It essentially means that for a given mission cost a telescope that is 5-10 times bigger can be launched compared to current telescopes. This translates in to 5 - 10 times better ground resolution for Earth Observation (EO). For example, a 3U CubeSat version can unfold into a 60cm telescope in orbit and provide 30-60cm resolution on the ground for EO. At the other end of the scale a version which uses the full capacity of an Ariane 6 offers an effective primary mirror span of 24m and could detect the spectroscopic signatures of life on exoplanets or give 70cm ground resolution for EO from geostationary orbit. EO is a large and rapidly expanding market and the technology proposed has great commercial potential because it makes high definition EO from space much more affordable. It also has great potential for astronomy by making space telescope projects organised by academic consortia financially feasible.The alignment system uses an on-board laser to accurately and continuously measure the positions of the primary mirror segments. This information is used to control the actuators for the mirror segments so that precise alignment is constantly maintained. The system is therefore immune to external disturbances such as the solar radiation and the solar wind. It also allows an unfolding, light-weight telescope structure to be used - inherent stability is no longer a requirement. The laser light is completely decoupled from the light coming from whatever is being viewed and viewing and alignment happen at the same time.
该项目旨在开发一种系统,使太空望远镜能够不断调整其主镜部分(和辅助光学系统),以获得尽可能清晰的图像。该系统将使望远镜在火箭发射时体积小、重量轻,然后展开成更大的结构以供实际使用。需要连续的自对准,因为轻型望远镜结构在初始部署时不会很好地对准,并且在长时间尺度上不会在所需的水平(~ 100 nm)下尺寸稳定。这一概念对各种大小的太空望远镜和发射包具有巨大的潜力。这基本上意味着,对于给定的使命成本,可以发射比现有望远镜大5-10倍的望远镜。这意味着地球观测(EO)的地面分辨率提高了5 - 10倍。例如,3U CubeSat版本可以在轨道上展开为60厘米望远镜,并在地面上为EO提供30- 60厘米分辨率。在另一端,使用阿丽亚娜6的全部容量的版本提供了24米的有效主镜跨度,可以探测系外行星上生命的光谱特征,或者为地球静止轨道的EO提供70厘米的地面分辨率。EO是一个巨大且迅速扩大的市场,所提出的技术具有巨大的商业潜力,因为它使来自太空的高清晰度EO更加经济实惠。它还具有巨大的天文学潜力,使学术财团组织的空间望远镜项目在财政上可行。对准系统使用机载激光器精确和连续地测量主镜部分的位置。该信息用于控制反射镜段的致动器,以便始终保持精确对准。因此,该系统不受太阳辐射和太阳风等外部干扰的影响。它还允许使用可展开的轻质望远镜结构-不再需要固有的稳定性。激光与来自被观察物体的光完全分离,观察和对准同时发生。
