This paper discusses the optical systems of the objectives of optoelectronic cameras with entrance-pupil diameters of 200-350mm for mini spacecraft and 500-750mm for small spacecraft, developed at OAO LOMO, with angular fields of 2°-4.5°, minimized in mass and size by choosing the optimum optical systems of the objectives. The objectives use two-mirror layouts with lens, single-mirror, and mirror-lens field-aberration correctors and focal-length converters. Versions of the construction of the optical layouts and their parameters are presented.
