内容記述 | Spaceflight, stellar pointing telescopes require baffle systems to define the field of view and protect this observational area from stray and scattered light. In the case of near normal incidence telescope systems, the problem consists in controlling the stray/scattered radiation reaching the image plane when circular plates, the primary and secondary mirrors, are the imaging elements. The case addressed in this paper is quite different in that it involves baffling two conical surfaces, i.e., the primary and secondary mirrors of a Wolter Type II telescope. A strategy is described for systematically moving through the telescope system and establishing criteria for placement of baffles. Calculations are given which determine the size and number of permitted baffles as a function of practical physical parameters. Clear options are given for the design of minimum baffle lengths to meet packaging constraints. |
