PAYLOAD wants to maximize its volume in the spacecraft; however, spacecraft volume is severely constrained. We shall determine if a set volume of ½ the spacecraft volume is sufficient to provide the required optical parameters for the Selfie-Sat mission.
Note: There is also a slightly different way we can approach this which may take longer, but would lead to a more optimal design. Instead of starting with a volume, we make this a variable and attempt to find the minimum volume required to allow for the required optics. The definition of done questions would then be something along the lines of: Answer: “What is the minimum volume required assuming a refracting lens configuration (Keplerian telescope)?” and Answer: “What is the minimum volume required assuming a refracting lens configuration (Galilean telescope)?”
Supporting Information 📖
Factors to go into determining PAYLOAD volume requirement:
Focal Lengths
Lens Diameters
Assume available volume is ½ spacecraft volume: 9cm x 9cm x 17cm
CSDC Requirement: TO BE INCLUDED
Next Steps 🚶
What we have to determine:
Lens Diameter
Field of View
Ground Spatial Distance
Magnification
Definition of Done 💯
Answer: "Will a Keplerian telescope constrained to ½ the spacecraft volume provide sufficient optical parameters for the camera?"
Answer: "Will a Galilean telescope constrained to ½ the spacecraft volume provide sufficient optical parameters for the camera?"
