Using as an example a space telescope constructed according to the Ritchey-Chrétien setup with a lens corrector, this paper discusses the temperature parameters of the structural elements of the telescope that affect the spatial position of the optical components. The construction principles of the correcting systems are presented, along with the result of a specific implementation of a system for ensuring the temperature regime.
