The space-agile optical composite detection (SOCD) system with a pointing mirror possesses flexible and fast response ability. Like other space telescopes, if the stray light is not properly eliminated, it may result in a false response or noise that floods the real light signal due to the low illuminance and large dynamic range of the target. The paper shows the optical structure layout, the decomposition of the optical processing index and roughness control index, the stray light suppression requirements, and the detailed stray light analysis process. The pointing mirror and ultra-long afocal optical path increase the difficulty of stray light suppression in the SOCD system. This paper presents the design method of a special-shaped aperture diaphragm and entrance baffle, black baffle surface testing, simulating, selection, and stray light suppression analysis process. The special-shaped entrance baffle has a significant effect on the suppression of stray light and reduced dependence on the platform posture of the SOCD system.
