New facility for straylight verification applied to the ARRAKIHS mission

In 30 seconds

This straylight verification facility provides a controlled low-scattering environment for the precise characterization of high-performance optical baffles and instruments. Featuring a broadband collimator and mechanized test bench, it enables in-field and out-of-field straylight analysis across VIS and NIR bands. It provides essential performance data to ensure sensitivity requirements for deep-space observation missions like ARRAKIHS.
