摘　　要：The segmented mirror telescope is widely used.The aberrations of segmented mirror systems are different from single mirror systems.This paper uses the Fourier optics theory to analyse the Zernike aberrations of segmented mirror systems.It concludes that the Zernike aberrations of segmented mirror systems obey the linearity theorem.The design of a segmented space telescope and segmented schemes are discussed,and its optical model is constructed. The computer simulation experiment is performed with this optical model to verify the suppositions. The experimental results confirm the correctness of the model.The segmented mirror telescope is widely used.The aberrations of segmented mirror systems are different from single mirror systems.This paper uses the Fourier optics theory to analyse the Zernike aberrations of segmented mirror systems.It concludes that the Zernike aberrations of segmented mirror systems obey the linearity theorem.The design of a segmented space telescope and segmented schemes are discussed,and its optical model is constructed.
