Thin films are used in micrometeoroid experiments to shield the sensors from external noise sources. Because of the spin of the Helios spacecraft the ecliptic sensor is exposed to the Sun. Therefore a 3000 Å parylene film coated on one side with 750 Å aluminium protects the experiment against UV-radiation and solar wind particles. The south sensor is shielded from solar emissions by the spacecraft rim and therefore has an open aperture.
