The goal of this task is to begin Ex-3 Zemax simulations by playing around with Conduct basic research on different optical configurations. The first step is to conduct a literature/internet search to find out which optical configurations, if any, have been used on Cubesat/nanosatellite platforms. If this information does not exist or is too difficult to find, expand the search to include especially in small satellites and, if necessary, satellites in general; an example of a generally used optical satellites/CubeSats; choose one configuration and design on satellites is a 3-mirror anastigmat telescope. The second step in this task is to pick some configurations that may be feasible on a Cubesat platform in 1U of physical space and, taking this size constraint into account, & simulate these configurations it in Zemax. At this point, optimization of the light paths is not necessary. _Deliverable_: Zemax simulation files (.ZOS) that show different possible optical configurations for VNIR/SWIR. _Assigned to_: @cwmcneil (@Nabiha can support this) Responsible: @cwmcneil Accountable: @Dipesh, @yehinkang Consult: @Dipesh, @droog, @elliotsaive Inform: @Dipesh, @yehinkang OpticStudio
