the invention discloses a space optical camera having on-
orbit self-diagnosis and compensation functions, which belongs to the space optical obtaining field. The camera comprises a space camera optical
system and a
phase difference wavefront detection unit, wherein the space camera optical
system is in the form of Cassegrain, coaxial three-mirror, off-axis three-mirror and the like optical systems; and the
phase difference wavefront detection unit comprises a focal multistage spliced
detector, an out-of-focus multistage spliced
detector, a focal
detector interface, an out-of-focus detector interface, a
data acquisition module, a data preprocessing module, a computing module, a storage module and a control interface. The space optical camera having the on-
orbit self-diagnosis and compensation functions is capable of reducing the requirements of a high-performance space optical
system for design, structure,
thermal control and the like without adding other extra high-precision
wavefront measuring device, thereby realizing high-accuracy on-
orbit diagnosis and compensation imaging of the space optical system.
