baffle

Standard

ECSS-E-ST-60-20C Rev. 2

Definition

passive structure used to prevent or reduce the entry into the sensor lens or aperture of any signals originating from outside of the field of view of the sensor

Notes

NOTE Baffle design is usually mission specific and usually determines the effective exclusion angles for the limb of the Earth, Moon and Sun. The Baffle can be mounted directly on the sensor or can be a totally separate element. In the latter case, a positioning specification with respect to the sensor is used.
