Scientific paper

The stray radiation rejection requirements for the Synchronous Earth Observation Satellite telescope were determined and compared with estimated stray radiation rejection performance. It was found that normal baffle design practice and 0.05 wavelength rms surface roughness on the mirrors is adequate to prevent stray light from limiting the telescope measurements as long as the sun is 10 deg or more from the edge of the field of view for a baffle tube length-to-aperture diameter ratio of 6.
