Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical instrument comprising an entrance cavity in which is placed a so-called primary mirror mirror.
- the invention applies to any optical instrument comprising a mirror requiring a very high thermal stability, to limit the thermoelastic deformations, especially over short periods, for example one to two hours.
- the invention is particularly but not exclusively applicable to optical instruments used in the spatial field such as optical instruments embedded on satellites (typically telescopes).
- This type of regulation makes it possible to maintain the temperature of the mirror at a defined level and to compensate for the variations in flux absorbed by the front face during the year. On the other hand, this type of regulation does not make it possible to compensate for orbital fluctuations in the context of satellite in low orbit, because of the purely radiative exchange mode between the heaters and the mirror.
- the present invention aims to solve this problem. Indeed, the invention proposes a solution to the problem of very high thermal stability required at the primary mirror of an optical instrument. Its purpose is to provide a solution with respect to short-period fluctuations in the case of optical instruments from satellites of low orbit to geostationary satellites.
- the proposed solution consists in producing an input cavity of the instrument comprising a rigid envelope creating a thermal inertia of all or part of the cavity.
- the thermal inertia of this envelope located in the immediate vicinity of the primary mirror where the radiative exchanges are the most important, limits the temperature fluctuations of the cavity and, consequently, the temperature fluctuations of the mirror.
- the present invention more particularly relates to an optical instrument comprising at least one mirror called primary mirror (3), placed in a cavity (2), the primary mirror having an active face capable of being subjected to instantaneous variations of the radiative flux incident, characterized in that the cavity comprises a rigid inner envelope (20) around the mirror constituting at least a portion of the cavity, this envelope being made of a material having a thermal inertia so as to dampen the instantaneous variations of the radiative flux incident thus making it possible to limit the temperature fluctuations of this cavity and, consequently, the temperature fluctuations of the mirror.
- the rigid inner envelope extends over a first portion of the cavity defined as being close to the mirror, this portion going from the mirror to a distance d less than the total length 1 the input cavity of the instrument.
- the first envelope is made of aluminum or any other material having a high thermal inertia (eg Beryllium).
- the aluminum casing has a thickness of about 1 mm.
- the cavity further comprises a second envelope made of a thermal insulating material disposed over the entire perimeter of the cavity and at the bottom of the latter, that is to say behind the mirror.
- the second envelope constitutes a first cavity portion
- the second envelope covers the first and extends this first cavity portion to form a second part in continuity with the first ( Figure 2).
- the second envelope consists of an insulating multilayer structure (MLI).
- the instrument further comprises active means for controlling the temperature of the mirror.
- the invention applies to telescopes aboard satellites irrespective of the size of their primary mirror.
- FIG 1 shows a longitudinal section of the optical instrument according to one embodiment
- Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section of the optical instrument according to a second embodiment.
- the instrument 1 described has a cavity 2 for receiving the mirror 3, said primary mirror, and attaching it to the instrument by conventional fixing means 5.
- the mirror is in a tubular cavity of a diameter slightly greater than its own so as to come to the periphery of this mirror.
- the mirror 3 is centered in the cavity and its active face turned towards the entrance of the cavity, which is the location of a secondary mirror 4.
- the cavity is made by a thermal insulation envelope made by a so-called multilayer multilayer insulation MLI (Multi Layered Insulation) painted black on the internal side of the cavity and which has large temperature variations.
- MLI Multi Layered Insulation
- the cavity 2 comprises at least a portion in a material with high inertia vis-à-vis rapid fluctuations in temperature.
- the input cavity of the instrument made according to the invention is less sensitive to external fluctuations, especially with respect to rapid orbital-type fluctuations.
- the input cavity 2 of the optical instrument 1 comprises a rigid inner envelope 20 around the mirror 3 made of a material having a thermal inertia damping the instantaneous variations of the incident radiative flux.
- the thermal inertia envelope limits the temperature fluctuations of the cavity and, consequently, the temperature fluctuations of the mirror.
- the rigid envelope with thermal inertia 20 is in tubular form and constitutes all or part of the input cavity of the optical instrument 1.
- Two exemplary embodiments corresponding to these two alternatives are illustrated by the diagrams of FIGS. and 2.
- the envelope 20 constitutes the entire cavity 2.
- the length of the envelope 20 corresponds to that of the inlet cavity 2.
- the envelope is of the mirror primary 3 to the entrance of the cavity corresponding to the location of the secondary mirror 4.
- the envelope 20 will preferably have a length less than that of the input cavity while remaining long enough to ensure its damper function instantaneous variations in the incident radiative flux.
- This exemplary embodiment is illustrated by the diagram of FIG. 2, the envelope constituting only part of the cavity 2.
- the diameter of the envelope 20 is slightly greater than that of the primary mirror 3 so that the latter may be placed on the periphery of the mirror 3.
- the cavity portion having a thermal inertia or the entire cavity having this thermal inertia with respect to the thermal fluctuations is covered with a thermal insulation jacket 21 of multilayer type "MLI".
- the insulation envelope 21 covering this cavity portion extends over the entire length of the cavity of FIG. inlet, its inner surface being in the extension of the inner surface of the thermal inertia casing 20.
- a material such as aluminum having a high heat capacity and a good thermal conductivity can be used advantageously to achieve the thermal inertia envelope.
- the inner face of the cavity portion A made of aluminum 20 is painted black for optical reasons, and the outer face is isolated from the instrument 1 with the MLI-type insulating multilayer jacket 21 in order to maintain a temperature level. low enough to regulate the mirror around 2O 0 C.
- the proposed solution can be further improved with means 6 and 7 illustrated in FIG. 2, conventionally used for the control of the temperature, namely: 1) an active control 7 of the temperature of the rigid envelope at using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative type of regulation, for example, which makes it possible to further reduce the thermal fluctuations of the envelope and therefore of the mirror. 2) the combination of an active regulation of the radiative type rear-facing mirror 6 which becomes, with the presence of the cavity with high thermal inertia, significantly more effective to compensate for short-term orbital-type fluctuations. This is because instantaneous changes in radiative flux from the near cavity are damped, due to the inertia of the cavity, compared to variations from a cavity comprising only MLI-type isolation.
- the cavity 2 being provided with a rigid aluminum envelope 20 of approximately 1 mm on the half A of the length, ie a length of 1.2 m, the cavity 2 being covered with a PWM type insulation jacket 21 covering the aluminum envelope and extending the envelope 20 to form the other half B of the cavity, 1 secondary mirror 4 1 input baffle 10, allowed, for a satellite in low orbit, to quantify the gains obtained according to the invention:
- the modification of the structure of the input cavity of the proposed optical instrument makes it possible to attenuate the variations in incident flux seen by the active face of the mirror, and in particular the flux coming from the near cavity.
- a cavity comprising an aluminum tubular casing 1.2 m long and 1 mm thick in the environment close to the primary mirror of 1.3 m in diameter is sufficient to obtain these results.
