Scientific paper

The ISO optical subsystem is described. It is composed of a cold telescope, a main baffle, and a sunshade. The telescope and the baffle are cooled down to 3 K by means of heat exchange with helium evaporated from a superfluid helium tank. The sunshade is cooled by radiation towards space, using a radiator. The analyses are performed using the modular structure of ESATAN software and subroutines and through numerical interface specification. The current design fulfills the requirements.
