Euclid is a space telescope from the European Space Agency (ESA) that will investigate three extremely dark patches of the sky by measuring shapes and redshifts of galaxies – it is looking back in time 10 billion years! Data from Euclid will enable scientists to study the time period when dark energy accelerated the expansion of the universe. Dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe, but much is still unknown about these mysterious phenomena.
The Euclid baffle, designed and delivered by Redwire’s team in Belgium, is a lightweight structure that will shield stray light from the Euclid telescope so that it can perform properly without light interference.
