Abstract

In this paper, the photometric characteristics of passively marked corner-cube-reflector-class cooperative targets are studied. The imaging characteristics of corner cube reflector(CCR) are discussed theoretically, and the influencing factors such as surface accuracy, angle error and diffraction effect are analyzed. The reflection uniformity and diffraction characteristics of CCRs with different positions and different precision are simulated and verified. In addition, the influencing factors and control methods of CCR precision are proposed. To the photometric characteristics of cooperative targets, especially the influence of aperture size of cube-corner prism on comprehensive aberration, the transmission surface (bottom surface) on comprehensive aberration was concerned firstly, besides the three reflection surfaces. The conclusion was been drawn that the transmission surface and the three reflection surfaces had most effect on the parallel of emerging beams, and the minimum error was the minimum algebra sum of above four surfaces. It can provide theoretical support for on-orbit services such as companion flight, autonomous rendezvous and docking (RVD).
