Operations begin to de-ice Euclid’s vision

How do other telescopes avoid/deal with this problem? I don't recall the James Webb telescope having a similar issue, for example.

&gt;It was always expected that water could gradually build up and contaminate Euclid’s vision, as it is very difficult to build and launch a spacecraft from Earth without some of the water in our planet’s atmosphere creeping into it.<p>If they expect moisture, perhaps final assembly could be done in the Atacama?

Satellites are assembled in clean rooms, which have about 50% relative humidity to avoid electrostatic discharge. The multilayer thermal insulation or MLI recaptures 1% of its own weight after bake-out, within 24 hours in a normal atmosphere. In the vacuum of space at cryogenic temperatures, it can take years and decades for the MLI to dry up. It&#x27;s a problem for all satellites, but Euclid is particularly sensitive. The Falcon9 fairing was purged with gaseous nitrogen for 4 hours prior to Euclid&#x27;s launch, to at least minimize the water that could freeze out directly from the atmosphere traveling into space with the satellite.

Sometimes I&#x27;m upset that we don&#x27;t have flying cars or warp drives yet, but then I think of the sheer engineering challenges in something as mundane seeming as this and can be proud again of humanity. I don&#x27;t know how they ever manage to get these kinds of projects right. The JWST was a pretty crazy feat as well.

Is there not a way to control moisture during assembly? If there is, and they did. What amount of moisture are we talking about to cause this issue?

It&#x27;s a problem they planned for.

Why don´t they have some strong IR source that can selectively heat the water molecules and zap them into space?

The primary source is this ESA story and it&#x27;s much better:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.esa.int&#x2F;Science_Exploration&#x2F;Space_Science&#x2F;Euclid&#x2F;Operations_begin_to_de-ice_Euclid_s_vision" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.esa.int&#x2F;Science_Exploration&#x2F;Space_Science&#x2F;Euclid...</a><p>The current OP is just a summary of this one.
