} Several space infrared interferometer missions with formation flying(FF) have been proposed.
} Unfortunately, these mission plans were stopped.} Their requirements for position and attitude control of satellites are extremely accurate.

Technological issue of formation flying infrared interferometer
6
} High required control accuracy} Optical systems inside the spacecraft should be controlled accurate as wavelength order
} Less than micro-meter and sub-arc-second accuracy} Unbalance of their high development cost and high technological risk. } Development cost and launch cost for multiple large spacecraft are high

} SEIRIOS} Space infrared interferometer with densified pupil spectroscopy by three satellites.
} Wave length: 0.7-1um} Aperture diameter : 5cm} Two CubeSats reflect the light from a celestial body and the micro-sat combines the two light to observe interferometric fringe with densified pupil spectroscopy interferometer.

} Two reflected beams are combined at the pupil plane not at the focal plane
} The combined beams at pupil plane are sliced} The sliced sub-pupils are densified by concave mirrors
} Input the densified sub-pupils to spectrographto get spectra of the bodies

Requirement relaxation by DPSI
10
} We divide the control accuracy requirement:} Requirement to construct interferometric fringe
} Long term requirement
} Requirement to get clear interferometric fringe image} Short term requirement (during exposure time)
This requirement is dramatically relaxed

} Relative Position} X: not related with optical path difference(OPD)} Y, Z: Directly relate with OPD
} Coherence length is extended by spectrograph} Relative Attitude
} 𝜃!, 𝜃": Tow beams should be overlapped} It is easer to overlap the beams at pupil plane than focal plane} We also have to consider the optical path difference inside the beam at pupil plane, but the requirement is only 100urad order.

Requirement to get clear interferometric fringe
12
} Basically, there are no relaxation} If the structure of the interferometric fringe is varied during the exposure time, the image is blurred, and wecannot take clear fringe
} We choose to decrease exposure time to 10-100msec} Our target is bright stars or celestial bodies inside thesolar system
} Lucky imaging } Take a lot of data and find good fringe on ground

SEIRIOSMission sequence and success criteria
14
} Launched in docking form} Initial operation and calibration are executed in docking form
} After the calibration, the two Cubesats separate and startformation flying control to get interferometric fringe
} As an extra success, we targets high-resolution imaging of solar system object like Europa by multiple interferometric fringe data at the multiple point in the UV-plane
Orbit design
15
} We choose LEO since there are a lot of ride share chance
} The three satellites fly along-track formation in sun-synchronous circular orbit} The orbital plane is nearly perpendicular with target bodies
} The periodic relative orbit to keep the baseline vector perpendicular with target direction} The relative orbital element (ROE) is decided by
} Satellite distance (baseline distance) and direction of target body
