“…For space telescope scales larger than 1 meter aperture, reflective optical system are prefered, to have a relatively larger field of view, usually a TMA (Three Mirror Astigmatism) design is used. There are two typical design methods of TMA: on-axis design and off-axis design, as shown in Figure .1 [2][3] . For OAST designs came up by various research facilities, on-axis TMA design is much more frequently used [4] , only few designs such as LUVOIR-B 8m aperture off-axis design.…”

On-orbit Assembling Space Telescope (OAST) technology, which was firstly presented by NASA around early 2000s, is one of the most feasible paths to the implement of 10m-class aperture large scale space telescope. Unlike traditional monolithic aperture telescope (like HST) or deployable space telescope (like JWST), OAST is modularly designed, modularly manufactured and modularly launched, the telescope modules are assembled and co-phased to diffraction limit in spatial environment.Considering the development of OAST involes multiple interfaces and new subsystems, on-orbit assembling and aligning procedure, the top-level design methods and considerations are quite different from monolithic space telescopes. this article introduces and discusses several op-level design consideration including optical and mechanical structure, on-orbit assembling and aligning method, and on-orbit testbed developing method.

“…In order to meet the requirements of light-weight and thermal stability, the optical structure material is mainly carbonization, and the mechanical structure materials are mainly carbon fiber composites and silicon carbide aluminum matrix composites. Telescope(OAST) [16] , which integrated modular design, manufacture and assembly. The telescope carries a spectrograph with a spectral range of 115-1100nm, and its spatial resolution of at least 0.1 arcseconds.…”
