Design of Key Technology Verification Payload in On-orbit Assembly Space Telescope Based on China Space Station
To response to the issue of low technology readiness level for key technologies of 10 me-ter-scale On-orbit Assembly Space Telescope(OAST),which cannot be fully tested on the ground,a design scheme for key technology verification payload of the OAST based on China Space Station was proposed.In this paper,the demands and external constraints for validating key technologies of a 10-meter-class OAST were first analyzed,and the functional requirements and technical features of the technology validation payload were summarized.A scheme for on-orbit validation of key technol-ogies using this validation payload was then proposed.Finally,the effectiveness of this scheme in validating the critical technologies needed for a 10-meter-class OAST was evaluated.The analysis re-sults indicated that the scheme could improve the technology maturity of key technologies for the 10-meter OAST.
