The paper is aimed at obtaining the optimum mount configuration for a Zerodur primary mirror for a Cassegrain spaceborne electro-optical payload. A bipod flexure design procedure is presented while taking various optomechanical design principles into account. Finite element model of the flexure is established in ANSYS APDL to analyse the design w.r.t optical and mechanical design parameters. In the design process of the mounts, thickness of the flexure notches; angle between the bipods; and height of the mounts are optimized for the best optical performance.
