Prospect for UV observations from the Moon. II. Instrumental Design of an Ultraviolet Imager LUCI
Joice Mathew, Ajin Prakash, Mayuresh Sarpotdar +6
We present a design for a near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging instrument which may be flown on a range of available platforms, including high-altitude balloons, nanosatellites, or space…
Pointing System for the Balloon-Borne Astronomical Payloads
K. Nirmal, A. G. Sreejith, Joice Mathew +5
We describe the development and implementation of a light-weight, fully autonomous 2-axis pointing and stabilization system designed for balloon-borne astronomical payloads. The sy…
A software package for evaluating the performance of a star sensor operation
Mayuresh Sarpotdar, Joice Mathew, A. G. Sreejith +5
We have developed a low-cost off-the-shelf component star sensor (StarSense) for use in minisatellites and CubeSats to determine the attitude of a satellite in orbit. StarSense is…
Measurements of gondola motion on a stratospheric balloon flight
Margarita Safonova, K. Nirmal, A. G. Sreejith +9
Balloon experiments are an economically feasible method of conducting observations in astronomy that are not possible from the ground. The astronomical payload may include a telesc…
