Design of High-lightweight Space Mirror Component Based on Automatic Optimization

Abstract Aiming at the problems of high weight, low cost and extremely short development cycle faced by commercial aerospace space remote sensing cameras, a mathematical model with modal fundamental frequency as the objective function under the constraints of weight and size has been established. Through the automatic optimization method, the lightening rate of the mirror can reach 71.8%. Using the “2 + 2 + 2” quasi-static constraint as the criterion, the flexible support structure of the mirror is optimally designed to realize the high rigidity of the component and ensure the high bearing capacity of the force and thermal environment. Static simulation analysis of the design results of the mirror assembly using hypermesh shows that under the combined influence of gravity field and temperature field, the change of the mirror surface shape (RMS) is within 0.0056λ. At the same time, the modal analysis of the design results shows that the first-order natural frequency of the component can reach 146.52 Hz, which has extremely high dynamic stiffness. It can effectively adapt to the dynamic environment, and the design of the mirror assembly can fully meet the needs of commercial aerospace space remote sensing cameras.
