Description
Summary:Two major perenial disasters are prevalent in Indonesia, namely, peatland fires and volcanic activities associated with Andesite rock. Thus, the Indonesian Government has prioritized the prevention and mitigation of both disasters. Indonesia’s Research Center for Satellite Technology-National Research and Innovation Agency then implemented the program as a satellite payload project. In this study, we describe the design of a space-based mid-wavelength infrared (SMWIR) camera module to monitor peatland fires and volcanic activities associated with Andesite rock. Using the spectral range as the basis of design and the iteration process of general steps in designing a camera, a SMWIR camera module was successfully designed. First, the spectral range was obtained by an intersection of four methods of determining spectral bands. Subsequently, the optical section, was conducted using Zemax by applying three criteria to analyze the optical performance, such as the spot diagram, encircled energy, and modulation transfer function (MTF). Thereafter, the mechanical design was achieved through the SOLIDWORKS software. The fourth step, namely, the structure or thermal design, was achieved by both Thermal Desktop/SINDA FLUINT and Zemax. In the electronic section, both the camera and detector were developed. Finally, a calibration system was specified over the module. Results in the form of graphs, pictures, and tables indicate that all established conditions, including those of the technical side, were achieved. Therefore, high performance in terms of the image, durability, transmission, and thermal stability can easily be achieved; additionally, the module is feasible, lightweight, and compact.
