Abstract

Efficiently characterizing the relative differences in performance between early telescope design concepts is important when identifying individual concepts for further study. This paper presents a simulation-based model for the exploration of the design trade space of a space-based telescope in the presence of uncertainty. A systems framework is introduced that considers both multi-objective optimization and uncertainty quantification over the design space. The incorporation of uncertainty when exploring the trade space can help to identify concepts that are best suited for accomplishing a specific goal and can maximize the knowledge about a design early in the mission lifecycle.
