Abstract
Future large-scale spaceborne optical instruments for Earth observation or astronomy will call for large primary mirrors with very challenging performance specifications. At design level, our work focuses on improving the integration of mechanical, thermal and optical analysis in efficient iterative loops, to quickly lock-in on mirror designs which simultaneously balance mechanical and thermal constraints. We rely on a new automatic mesher called PAMPA which quickly generates parametric models, and is iteratively called upon by an end-to-end automatic workflow to evaluate the mirrors’ performance.
