Abstract
With the development of remote sensing technology, users' demands for agility and high resolution are becoming increasingly high. Beijing No.3 Satellite is a new type of optical remote sensing satellite with ultra-high agility, high resolution and large swath. Operating in about 500kmSun-synchronous orbit, it can obtain the ground pixel resolution of panchromatic 0.5m/multi-spectral 2m at the satellite nadir point with a width of more than 23km. According to user indicators and engineering implementation difficulties, a dual camera optical splicing method is adopted to increase the camera width and reduce the development difficulty of the camera's optical and mechanical structure. The splicing process adopts the combination processing method to ensure the high precision and stability of the splicing angle of dual cameras. In terms of opto-mechanical structure, the stability is ensured through the integrated design of the mirror and the support structure. Thein-orbit commission shows that the camera resolution and swath meets the users’ requirement, the image is clear and the quality is high, indicating that the camera's optical and mechanical structure has high stability and demonstrate the effectiveness of the approaches proposed.
