Space-borne cryogenically cooled infrared telescope systems are optically sensitive to particulate contamination along the line of sight. Methods of cleaning and handling flight instrumentation have been developed at AFGL and used on the Infrared Celestial Survey Program. These procedures are described in detail and flight results are presented. (Author)
