The development of a fast star sensor for reconstructing the attitude of balloon borne spinning experiments was studied. The system composed of an optical mirror, an array of 46 fast and sensitive photodiodes, and low noise readout electronics.

Abstract

The development of a fast star sensor for reconstructing the attitude of balloon borne spinning experiments was studied. The system composed of an optical mirror, an array of 46 fast and sensitive photodiodes, and low noise readout electronics. It was found that the system was designed for the Archeops experiment to study the temperature anisotropies of the cosmic background radiation.
