Scientific paper

The joint German/USA/UK satellite, ROSAT, was launched on 1 June 1990. The UK's main contribution to the project was the UK XUV Wide Field Camera (WFC). This paper describes the cleanliness and contamination control implemented during the course of the WFC project, including some of the necessary design aspects and some of the problems encountered and practical lessons learnt during assembly, integration and test. A variety of contamination problems, measurement approaches and results are discussed. The approach taken and lessons learned have practical application to future projects which may be even more contamination sensitive.
