This paper describes the optical design of the High Resolution Imaging
Channel (HRIC), which is part of the spectrometers and imagers for the
Mercury Planetary Orbiter BepiColombo Integrated Observatory SYStem
(SIMBIO-SYS) suite, for imaging and spectroscopic investigation of
Mercury. The optical design has been optimized to achieve the
stringent scientific requirement of 5 m ground sampling at
400 km from the planet’s surface in the harsh Mercury
environment.
