Scientific paper

Details are reported of a gondola for carrying a gamma telescope during balloon flight and protecting it upon landing, and also of the mechanical drives needed to point the telescope with the required accuracy and stability needed to make precise measurements. The gondola is approximately 8' x 8' at its base and 16' tall, made of aluminum tubing and bar, and weighing about 800 lb. The pointing system is an elevation over azimuth arrangement which allows 360 degrees of azimuth and from zenith to 20 degrees above horizontal for elevation.
