Abstract:This paper addresses the lack of a general methodology for the controller synthesis of an optical instrument on-board a stratospheric balloon-borne platform, such as a telescope or siderostat, to meet pointing requirements that are becoming more and more stringent in the context of astronomy missions. Most often in the literature, a simple control structure is chosen, and the control gains are tuned empirically based on ground testings. However, due to the large dimensions of the balloon and the flight chain, … Show more
