Abstract

An international team of Master’s students from the Tallinn University of Technology in cooperation of MEKTORY Space Center design a unit size nanosatellite for camera based low Earth observation mission. It is important that image acquired with the optical system of the satellite stays in focus even during thermal expansion and after possible deformations caused by vibration or thermal shock to obtain clear image. Proposed solution allows adjusting the focus and locking lens into place avoiding misplacement at launch sequence vibrations and separation shock. Mirror and mirror mount are also to withstand similar conditions. Both mirror and lens are contained in a special casing that provides protection against contamination and a frame protects the sensor from possible vibrations. Problem of stray light in optical systems was also investigated and solutions appropriate to space application is chosen and implemented.
