Scientific paper

The mechanical design feasibility of the SUN (Solar Ultraviolet Network) instrument structure is presented. SUN is one of the core instruments of the SIMURIS (Solar, solar system, and stellar Interferometric Mission for Ultrahigh Resolution Imaging and Spectroscopy) mission. The SUN instrument structure has to accommodate adequately the optical systems and their mechanisms and to be certain that all optical systems are well accessible and flexible during integration and assembly procedures. A modular design approach, in which seven subdivisions were identified, was adopted. Verification of the suitability of the preliminary conceptual design is important. A finite element model of the SUN instrument was developed and subsequently, mechanical/thermal analyses were performed to evaluate the adequacy of the payload performance.
