Descripción
Recent planning for Constellation-X has driven the exploration of
grazing incidence telescopes with focal lengths of 50 m or greater.
Formation flying, wherein separate optic and detector spacecraft travel
in formation, is one approach to implementing such long focal lengths.
This approach eliminates the telescope tube that is an integral part of
shielding against stray light. We consider the implications of formation
flying with respect to stray light, and discuss design guidelines for
baffling against stray light.
