The Optical System Design of the High-Resolution Visible Spectral Camera for China Mars Exploration

Abstract

In this paper，the optical system design of the high-resolution visible spectral camera for China first Mars exploration mission is planned. Firstly，the scientific meaning and the development trend of the Mars high-resolution camera is proposed. And then，by analyzing the application advantages of various optical systems，the Off-axis Cook system is selected to apply for the China Mars high-resolution camera. Besides，the aspherical mirror testing plan is proposed. By using the optical system，the optical system can guarantee the high-resolution camera reach the international advanced level.
