Thermal/Structural/Optical Analysis of Optical System of Star Sensor

Star sensor is a high accurate attitude measuring instrument used in various spacecrafts, and its accuracy is restricted by ambient temperature of outer space. This paper described an effective scheme to the Thermal/Structural/Optical Analysis in optical system of star sensor. By finite element analysis (FEA) and ray tracing, the relationship of star sensor's measurement error and optical system's temperature distribution was studied. The error characteristics of a star sensor had been researched, when the temperature gradient of optical system were zero, axial and lateral respectively. Based on this scheme, optical system's temperature conditions can be achieved under the required measurement error caused by thermal effect of optical system. For example, if the required error is less than arcsecond level, the uniform temperature change, the axial temperature gradient and lateral temperature gradient must be less than 10℃, 0.1310℃/mm and 0.0325℃/mm respectively. It provides scientific references in thermal control design of optical system of star sensor.
