    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Space Systems Engineering
    • Thermal Management

    Background:

    • On-orbit operation of space cameras can lead to imaging quality degradation due to defocusing caused by thermal variations.
    • Maintaining precise focus is critical for high-resolution imaging in space applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and validate an adaptive thermal refocusing system for high-resolution space cameras.
    • To address image quality degradation caused by defocusing in space environments.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an adaptive thermal refocusing system integrating active and passive thermal refocusing components.
    • Utilized a Ritchey-Chretien optical system as a model, designating the primary mirror assembly as active and the secondary mirror assembly as passive.
    • Performed structure/thermal/optics performance simulations for temperature variations of 5°C, 10°C, and 15°C.
    • Conducted thermal vacuum experiments to verify system performance.

    Main Results:

    • Simulations and thermal vacuum experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the adaptive refocusing system.
    • Measured axial displacements for the active system were 0.0032 mm (5°C), 0.0061 mm (10°C), and 0.0090 mm (15°C).
    • Measured axial displacements for the passive system were 0.00015 mm (5°C), 0.00030 mm (10°C), and 0.00069 mm (15°C).

    Conclusions:

    • The adaptive thermal refocusing system demonstrates consistency between theoretical predictions, simulations, and experimental results.
    • The developed system exhibits high stability and reliability in maintaining focus under varying thermal conditions.
    • This technology is crucial for ensuring high-quality imaging for space cameras during extended missions.
