Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri, S. J. Benton +29
BICEP3 is a 550 mm-aperture refracting telescope for polarimetry of radiation in the cosmic microwave background at 95 GHz. It adopts the methodology of BICEP1, BICEP2 and the Keck…
Attitude determination for balloon-borne experiments
N. N. Gandilo, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +64
An attitude determination system for balloon-borne experiments is presented. The system provides pointing information in azimuth and elevation for instruments flying on stratospher…
Pointing control for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope
Jamil A. Shariff, Peter A. R. Ade, Mandana Amiri +45
We present the technology and control methods developed for the pointing system of the SPIDER experiment. SPIDER is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to detect the imprint of pr…
