A balloon gondola was designed and built to provide a sun pointing capability. The gondola carried small radiometer instruments to measure trace gases in the Earth's atmosphere by absorption techniques as part of the ground truth measurement program in conjunction with the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere experiment on the NIMBUS 7 satellite. The gondola provided two axis stabilization to better than 3 arc mins by means of a twin axis sun sensor controlling an experiment mounting plate in elevation and the complete gondola in azimuth. The design of the gondola and the performance obtained during flights from Oberpfaffenhofen, W. Germany and Palestine, Texas are discussed.
