Optical design of the High Resolution Imaging Channel of SIMBIO-SYS.

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.
