“KuaFu Mission” is an “L1 + Polar” triple satellite project. KuaFu is composed of three spacecraft. A white light coronagraph (2.5 R⊙ to 15 R⊙ ) is a key instrument in the “KuaFu A”. It is the first time for us to fabricate the satellite-based coronagraph. The coronagraph requires the strict stray light suppressing. In this paper
based on the principle of the coronagraph
its optical character and the basic rules of suppressing the stay light are analyzed. The external occurred white light coronagraph is designed. In this system
the FOV is 4 degree
the resolution is 14 arc sec
the aperture is 30mm
the focal length is 200mm
the total length is 1080mm
the length of the optical structure is 370mm
and the MTF value at 37pl/mm is above 0.5. With the help of the conjugated stops
the four main stray light sources are totally suppressed
and a very high stray light suppressing level is obtained.
