Scientific paper

A Schmidt camera onboard Spacelab is considered. The operating spectral domain (120 to 350 nm) necessitates an optical correction for differential aberrations in function of view angle. A computer program (CASSE-TETE) is adapted. Coefficients of asphericity for a deformed mirror are calculated. Test spectrographs were made for 66 deg field of view at various wavelengths. The program CASSE-TETE gives spot diagrams similar to mirror manufacturer ones. It is appropriate for determining the optimal position of the mirror where image spots are as small as possible.
