    As the requirements of space astronomy, situational awareness, environmental monitoring and other fields grow higher, space telescopes are developing toward large fields of view and large apertures. Large-scale focal plane stitching technology is the key technology of large-field space telescopes. The allocation method of the main focal plane flatness error (P-V value) is generally a direct assignment method based on experience, which is prone to unreasonable error allocation.In this paper, a method of splicing focal plane error allocation is proposed, which can accurately allocate important parameter errors through optical-structural-thermal integration analysis. Taking 4×4 mechanical direct splicing focal plane with 16 pieces of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS) image sensor as an example, an error tree of splicing focal planes is established. The influence of important parameters such as gravity and temperature on the flatness of splicing focal plane is analyzed by the method of optical-structural-thermal integration analysis. The error distribution result is finally given. The analysis shows that the flatness errors caused by gravity under two different attitudes are 0.28 μm and 1.55 μm respectively, and the total flatness error caused by temperature is 5.5 μm. After leaving a 30% margin, the assigned values of the flatness error caused by gravity and temperature are determined to be 2 μm and 7.2 μm, respectively.
