Optical Modeling and Testing of the Deformable Mirror Demonstration Mission (demi) CubeSat Payload
American Astronomical Society Meeting Abstracts 233(2019)
摘要
The Deformable Mirror Demonstration Mission (DeMi) is a 6U CubeSat that will characterize the on-orbit performance of a Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) deformable mirror (DM) with both an image plane wavefront sensor and a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWFS). Coronagraphs on future space telescopes will require precise wavefront control to detect and characterize Earth-like exoplanets. High-actuator count MEMS deformable mirrors can provide wavefront control with low size, weight, and power. The DeMi payload will characterize the on-orbit performance of a 140 actuator MEMS Deformable Mirror (DM) with 5.5 mu m maximum stroke, with a goal of measuring individual actuator wavefront displacement contributions to a precision of 12 nm. The payload will be able to measure low order aberrations to lambda/10 accuracy and lambda/50 precision, and will correct static and dynamic wavefront phase errors to less than 100 nm RMS. We present an overview of the payload design, the assembly, integration, and test process, and report on the development and validation of an optical diffraction model of the payload. Launch is planned for late 2019.
