Abstract:
Within the Universat program, a set of solar vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) telescopes has been developed for deployment on 6U nanosatellites. Telescopes are designed to get images of the solar corona. The spectral ranges of observations is considered, the characteristics of the nanosatellite from the point of view of the observations feasibility are opmized, the optical scheme of the telescope and VUV multilayer mirrors coatings and thin-film filters are modelled.
Keywords:nanosatellite, VUV, telescope, solar corona.
