DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BALLOONBORNE SOLAR POINTER BBSP-200.
Abstract
The report summarizes the results of the design, development, and test program of the balloon-borne biaxial solar pointing control, Series BBSP-200. The objective of this program was to develop a system capable of orienting a research instrumentation package toward the center of the solar disc while it is suspended from a high-altitude balloon for an unattended flight period of not less than 10 hours with an accuracy of better than =5 minutes of angular arc in both axes.
