Abstract

Ariel (Atmospheric Remote-Sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large Survey) is the fourth medium-class mission (M4) of the ESA’s Cosmic Vision Program. Its launch is planned for 2029. Ariel will observe a large and well selected sample of transiting gas giants, neptunes and super-earths around a wide range of host star types, with the objective to study planetary atmospheres and to understand composition and evolving processes of the planetary systems. A Structural, Thermal, and Optical Performance (STOP) analysis is conducted at Payload level to estimate the thermo-elastic induced degradation of the system performance for a number of selected environmental load cases. In particular, this document presents the general approach followed and the results of the optical design analysis performed to predict the performance of the Ariel Telescope Assembly for the in-flight operational cases during Cycle C-1.
