The aim of this thesis has been summarized as the design of a micro-satellite camera
system and its focal plane simulations. The average micro-satellite orbit heights
ranges in between 600-850 km and obviously a multipayload satellite brings volume
and power restrictions for each payload. In this work, an orbit height of 600 km and
a volume of 20× / 20× / 30 cm is assumed, since minimizing the payload dimensions
increases the probability of the launch. The pixel size and the dimensions of an
imaging detector such as charge-coupled device (CCD) have been defined by the
useful image area with acceptable aberration limits on the focal plane. In order to
predict the minimum pixel size to be used at the focal plane modulation transfer
function (MTF), point spread function (PSF), image distortion and aberration
simulations have been carried out and detector parameters for the designed camera
have been presented.
