Scientific paper

A study of the requirements on structural design, mechanisms, thermal control and electronics is presented. The major results are the mass budget, mass distribution, and overall power consumption; and they indicate that if the mechanical, thermal, and electronic requirements are satisfied, the camera can be built and operated in space for more than 2.5 years. Critical areas are surveyed, one of them being the optical bench. It is recommended that the bench be constructed in graphite/epoxy.
