Design methodology and lens centering alignment performance of corrector lens in the FORMOSAT-8 remote sensing satellites program

The design verification phase of the FORMOSAT-8 remote sensing satellites program's telescope proto-flight model has been successfully passed the green light, paving the way for the implementation of the telescope as the payload for the multi-satellite remote sensing constellation of FORMOSAT-8, comprising FORMOSAT-8A, FORMOSAT-8B, FORMOSAT-8C, FORMOSAT-8D, FORMOSAT-8E, and FORMOSAT-8F (collectively referred to as FORMOSAT-8X) satellites. This paper presents a comprehensive report on the optical design methodology and the lens centering alignment performance of the corrector lens within the FORMOSAT-8 remote sensing satellites program.
