Research on Balloon-Based Optical Imaging System with Attitude Controller

In this paper, we propose a near-space balloon-based optical imaging system with attitude controller, mainly used for imaging weak emission targets such as airglow. The system includes a optical imager, a primary attitude controller system, and a secondary attitude controller system. By comparing the images obtained from two scientific flight experiments, it was found that the balloon-based optical imaging system with attitude controller can better meet the requirement of long exposure time for weak emission targets, thus providing a new application for future similar balloon-based payloads.
