In this article, a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) micro-vibration platform (6-MVP) based on the Gough–Stewart configuration is designed to reproduce the 6-DOF micro-vibration that occurs at the installation surfaces of sensitive space-based instruments such as large space optical loads and laser communications equipment. The platform’s dynamic model is simplified because of the small displacement characteristics of micro-vibrations. By considering the multifrequency line spectrum characteristics of micro-vibrations and the parameter uncertainties, an iterative feedback control strategy based on a frequency response model is designed, and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by performing integrated simulations. Finally, micro-vibration experiments are performed with a 10 kg load on the platform. The results of these micro-vibration experiments show that after several iterations, the amplitude control errors are less than 3% and the phase control errors are less than 1°. The control strategy presented in this article offers the advantages of a simple algorithm and high precision and it can also be used to control other similar micro-vibration platforms.

Four-mirror systems with a very large aperture and a long focal length were investigated and designed. Their design idea is given. Through the derivation of primary aberration formula, the aberration properties were analyzed and discussed, and the method to determine its initial structure is reported. As examples, two four-mirror systems with spherical and parabolic primary mirror, 100m focal length, and 10m entrance pupil were optimally designed. Their imaging quality approaches diffraction limit within field of view of 0.4 and 0.5 degrees respectively.

The surface figure of the primary mirror in a large aperture telescope is one of the key factors influencing imaging quality. Space telescopes are used in weightless environments, which is different from the ground environment for optical machining and testing. Therefore the effect of the deformation induced by gravity on the imaging quality is not negligible and the mirror support is to be carefully designed to unload the gravity during the course of machining and testing. In this paper, finite element analysis software is adopted to simulate and compare the deformation induced by gravity of a metre-scale aspheric lightweight primary mirror with different support methods and different working conditions. The results are then imported into MetroPro software supplied by ZYGO Corporation, to remove the tilts and rigid body motion of the mirror and calculate the primary aberrations from the deformation. Finally, sensitivity analysis of support deformation is implemented and the principles of mirror support design are summarized. The research is instructive for design, machining and testing of large aperture mirrors.
