One presents hereafter the HIPPARCOS satellite payload which is mainly constituted by a Schmidt telescope; a possible way to approximate the Schmidt mirror elliptic deformation profile is explained. Then, the signal expected from the optical chain is briefly described and one displays a residual chromatic effect which may introduce errors in the measure. To conclude, numerical values of this effect are given and one shows the necessity to take it into account in the data reduction process.
