Abstract

We are developing the KASI-Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope Generation 1 (K-DRIFT G1) based on the on-site performance assessment of the K-DRIFT pathfinder. The telescope is a confocal off-axis freeform three-mirror system designed for the detection of extremely low surface brightness structures in the sky. The optical specifications of the K-DRIFT G1 are as follows: the entrance pupil diameter is 300 mm, the focal ratio is 3.5, the field of view is 4.43° × 4.43°, and the image area is 81.2 mm × 81.2 mm with 10 μm pixels. We performed sensitivity analysis and tolerance simulations to integrate and align the system. We present the analysis results and development plan of the K-DRIFT G1.
