The major concern of this study was the formation of a haze on the transmissive optics when exposed to a vacuum environment. The phenomena was determined to be a result of molecular transport from a low outgassing structural adhesive. Detailed analysis, both chemical and analytical, were conducted to assess the formation of the haze. Results of the study are given as well as information on clean-up and problem elimination.
