This paper introduces the tolerancing and design–for–manufacture in the catadioptric telescope for the remote sensing instrument (RSI) in the FORMOSAT–8 satellites program. The study utilized wavefront differential tolerance analysis to accelerate the tolerancing process efficiently. To address potential performance variations stemming from manufacture, assembly or alignment regulations, compensators were used to model these adjustments. The outcome delves into the strategic choices of specification and ion beam figuring (IBF) to trade–off manufacturability within the RSI system.
